The alcohol will extract the oil from the bay leaves. • Step 5: Filter the liquid • Filter the liquid through coffee filters until all of the residue is gone. Then place it in an attractive bottle. Splash some on the next time you go out on the town and watch heads turn. • Did You Know? • Christopher Columbus landed in Jamaica in 1494.
