Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Healing Juniper Teager Garlic Broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to a month.
- When reheating, warm the broth gently on the stove over low heat to preserve its flavors, adding a splash of water if it has thickened.
- Serve your broth with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added burst of flavor, or use it as a base for grain bowls and hearty stews.
- To enhance the healing properties, consider adding a pinch of turmeric or ginger during the simmering process, which can provide extra warmth and health benefits.
