This year started out rough, (not self-induced…LOL!) Again with the fever, etc…! So I dragged my butt into the kitchen and made Garlic Broth. This humble broth is as frugal as it is simple to make and the health benefits are worth the effort.

Garlic Broth has become the star of my kitchen. Its uses are endless. Use it in recipes instead of chicken or beef broth. When you’re tight on time you throw in some fresh pasta, lentils or black beans, greens, seasonings and a splash of lemon. It’s a hearty meal on the run. Gravy made with garlic broth is amazing! It’s uses are only limited by your imagination so have fun with it.

My husband loves Mac and Cheese night and it’s healthy-ish… I replace half of the pasta with cauliflower or broccoli and to cut a little fat I replace half of the milk with Garlic Broth. It’s a beautiful flavor.

Let’s not forget the health benefits of garlic. When you add sage and ginger you easily create a healing broth. Nature’s antibiotics and tums rolled into a hot mug of delicious liquid.

Okay, enough gushing, here’s the recipe:

There you have it. Use it right away, keep it in your fridge, can it or freeze it. Whichever method suits you.

Tip: If you are short on room in your fridge, freeze the broth in ice cube trays. When they are frozen store them in zip-lock bags in your freezer but use them up within a couple of weeks to avoid freezer burn.

I love keeping this broth having this broth on hand. It not only adds wonderful flavour to dishes but it’s also perfect for colds and flu.

Until next time friends…
