Make 4–6 small incisions into the peel with a knife or toothpick.
Insert one bay leaf into each slit, spacing them evenly.
Place on a dish or surface where it can release its aroma.
Replace every 5–7 days, or when the lemon begins to dry out.
You can also add cloves or sprinkle sea salt on the lemon for extra effect.
