1/2 cup Water
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1 TBS fresh Lemon or Orange Juice
3 large, dried Bay Leaves, from a fresh jar
Tiny Pinch of Salt

PROCESS
Note: Make this syrup during the second half of the cake baking time.
1. Add all ingredients into a small pot and simmer over low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is reduced by 25%.
2. Remove bay leaves then pour syrup over cake while warm from the oven, allowing to absorb as it cools.

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, use syrupy bay leaves as garnish.

STORAGE: Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
