Instructions
🍵 Prepare the Herbal Broth Base
- In a large pot, combine the water with all the herbs: ginger, peppermint, chamomile, fennel seeds, licorice root, lemon balm, calendul, and turmeric.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 30-45 minutes.
- Stir occasionally, making sure the herbs infuse fully into the water.
- The broth will turn a rich, golden color due to the turmeric.
🍵 Strain & Combine
- After simmering, strain the herbs from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, discarding the solids.
- This will leave you with a clear, aromatic herbal broth.
- Stir in apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- If using CBD oil, add it now and stir well to incorporate.
🍵 Cool & Freeze
- Allow the broth to cool slightly before transferring it to ice cube trays.
- Pour the cooled broth into ice cube trays or silicone molds, filling them almost to the top.
- Freeze for 4-6 hours or until fully solid.
- Once frozen, remove the cubes from the tray and store them in a sealed freezer bag or container.
- Keep in the freezer for easy use.
🍵 Use or Serve
- To use the broth cubes, simply add one or two to a warm cup of water for sipping, or add them to soups, stews, or stir-fries for extra flavor and digestive support.
Betsy's Infusion Notes:
🍵Serving Suggestions: You can use one or two cubes per serving, depending on your preferred strength. To make the broth more potent, simply add extra cubes to your water or cooking.
🍵Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a slightly sweeter broth, you can add a teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup after heating the cubes in water.
🍵CBD Oil: If using CBD oil, be sure to use one that has a mild, neutral flavor to prevent overpowering the broth’s other flavors. Adjust the dosage based on the strength of the CBD oil and your personal preference.
🍵Additional Herbs: You can customize the broth by adding other digestive-supporting herbs like dandelion root or milk thistle.
