How to Make Great Vegetable Broth?

Ingredients:
2 carrots
1 onion
5-6 garlic cloves
1-2 celery stalks
1,5 liters of water
sea salt
fresh ground pepper
bay leaf
basil
majoran
black pepper seeds

Directions:

1. Cut all the vegetables (you may add any vegetables you have, you do not have to cup the vegetables unless they do not fit into a pot). Smash garlic cloves with the side of a large knife to break them up



2. Place the vegetables into boiling water

3. Add the herbs (the amount and types of herbs is up to you)

4. Bring to boil, lower the heat and simmer uncovered for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally

5. When ready remove from the heat, let the broth cool

6. Pour through fine strainer, and you are done!

This is a great broth for any kind of cooking: soups, meat, chicken, etc. If you do not want to use all the broth at ones, simply pour it in a container, freeze, and use anytime you want!
