Potassium Broth recipe... everybody drink this!

I'm drinking some right now. It's SO delicious!

In a large stainless steel stock pot, place the following:

The peelings from 5 pounds potatoes (save the potatoes for your family to eat)

The peelings from 5 pounds carrots (save the carrots for your juice fast consumption)

Three large (size of a softball) onions, chopped into chunks or just quartered (or comparable number of smaller onions)

A whole "bunch" of Celery (or whatever you call one of a whole thing), cut up

A whole "bunch" of red beets with the tops (however your grocery store bunches them together- this amounts usually to three large beets or several more smaller ones at my store), chop the leaves and stalks up and throw them in there, then roughly quarter the beets themselves

Throw in whatever greens you have in your fridge that are going limp but still are decent or any you know you're not going to get around to eating

A whole layer of garlic cloves- this comes to about a dozen large heads of fresh garlic, just get most of the paper off, separate the cloves, and throw them in

As many hot peppers as you want- I put in about two cups, just throw them in, seeds, stems and all. BTW... green jalapenos and green serranos, etc are UNRIPE. We're used to seeing them that way because they are easier to ship that way. But chilis are actually red! If you let them sit out on your windowsill or whatever, they will ripen. And you will like them! [Insert fun Mariachi music here]

Fill the pot up with pure water.

Turn the fire up under the pot to high and bring to a full boil, then turn it down and let it simmer all day.

Drink at least three cups of broth every day. I add a pinch of sea or Himalayan salt and a pinch of cayenne to each cup. It is SO GOOD and it makes your house smell cozy! At the end of the day, put the pot in the refrigerator. This batch will last 2-3 days. Throw the old veggies in the compost when you're done.

Enjoy!!!
