Ingredients
Scale
- 2-inch piece fresh turmeric root, peeled and sliced (or 1 tablespoon turmeric powder)
- 6–8 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, quartered
- 2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- Sea salt, to taste
- 8 cups (1.9 liters) filtered water
- Optional: handful of fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and slice the turmeric and ginger. Smash the garlic cloves with the side of your knife. Roughly chop the onion, carrots, and celery.
- In a large stockpot, add the water, turmeric, garlic, ginger, onion, carrots, celery, and black peppercorns. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes to extract flavors and nutrients.
- Turn off heat and strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pot. Discard solids.
- Stir in fresh lemon juice and sea salt to taste.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro.
Notes
Use fresh turmeric and garlic for best flavor and health benefits. Smash garlic instead of mincing to preserve allicin. Add black pepper to enhance curcumin absorption. Store broth in glass jars in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to preserve flavor.
