Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)
- 1 tablespoon juniper berries, crushed
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 inch fresh ginger root, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic and sliced ginger. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 2: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the crushed juniper berries and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with a few tablespoons of hot broth until smooth. This helps dissolve the miso without clumping.
- Step 4: Stir the miso mixture into the pot along with the lemon juice and zest. Continue to cook on low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 5: Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or additional lemon slices as desired. Enjoy your detox broth warm!
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep any leftover detox broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and consider freezing portions for longer shelf life.
- When reheating, gently warm the broth on the stovetop over low heat to preserve its flavors and nutrients, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
- Serve your Miso-juniper teager Lemon Detox Broth with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, or add a side of whole grain bread for a wholesome meal experience.
- For an extra flavor boost, try toasting the juniper berries lightly in the pot before adding the broth; this enhances their aromatic qualities and adds depth to your detox broth.
