In the tea? I just stuck a leaf in a cup with water and microwaved it for a minute or two.
In food? I usually put it in as soon as I start the simmer on a liquid part of the dish. It takes a long while for the flavor to really become significant.
Make a dish twice, once without the bay leaf. There is an obvious difference. It’s fine to not like the taste of any particular spice but saying there is none is sort of crazy?
In fairness, I’m not sure anyone knows if bay leaves even do anything.
I wasn’t sure myself, so i made a “tea” out of bay leaves to check, and i can confirm that they do in fact have a pretty distinct flavor.
This is smart, I don’t know when to put it in so I should get familiar with the taste

He’s joking, it’s people that don’t cook often don’t know what the difference is
