BAY LEAVES

(Laurus nobilis)

200 leaves per ounce.
Bay leaves are very strong when they are fresh.
Use one leaf per gallon of liquid.

Bay Leaves are often described as tea-like, and are characterized by a green, woody and astringent flavor. They have a pleasant, slightly minty menthol aroma.

Bay leaves, cloves and sage all act as natural insect repellents for ants and other crawling insects.
