Uses for bay leaves




Bay leaves can be used to ward off evil spirits or kitchen spells as well as to make salt rubs for meat and potatoes. If using in stews and curries, try containing the bay and anything else that needs removing in a little mesh bag to save yourself fishing everything out before serving.

By the way I have been sharing lots of Bay leaves with friends and family the more I take off the more leaves seem to appear . I saw on the internet it's so good for so many health benefits.

Yes there are many benefits I was told on holiday to write the word money or draw £ igns and keep in a wallet or purse too. Also to burn bay leaf to ward off evil spirits around the home

Oh my! *runs to grab a bay leaf for my wallet*

Do you write £ on the leaf?  I’m going to try this

🥰 I’d be using the leaves stuffing them. Dolmas

I make a very good preserve of bay leaf, mashed garlic (lots) and salt (lots). After a few days the salt smells soooo good and it is excellent rubbed on a chicken to roast or potatoes or root vegetables

I need a lesson on making dolmas!

I also add bay leaves in ice and meat dishes  bay leaf means a less smelly kitchen.

Fish them out prior to serving 
My oh hates fishing them out and cinnamon sticks they always add so much flavour

Also if any body suffers kidney stones bay leaf tea is great

You can draw £ signs or the word money.

I must admit I have burned bay leaves in the Kitchen when you come back after a while the atmosphere seems really clear and pleasant . I not tried it in my purse yet !

I put all my whole spices in a little mesh bag then just take the bag out after 👍🏾

My mum still does this I’m just too lazy to tie in bag lol
Also I cheat sometimes add 7 spice  ground

I definitely going to try burning some bay. I can see how it would clear the air, so to speak.

23/08/2021, 19:11
It really does

I’ve put bay on a barbecue then cooked the food over the top …. It really flavours the food
