How to(with pictures)
Making a vegetarian broth is easy. It all starts with washing your vegetables thoroughly in running water. Then, chop them.
Take a large bowl, and soak chopped vegetables and spinach in salted water for 10 minutes to remove impurities.
Now, drain that water and keep vegetables aside.
Heat a heavy bottom pot and add water. Boil the water until it starts bubbling.
Now add vegetables and boil everything for 15 minutes. Make sure to cover the pot with a lid.
Once the water is boiled properly, allow vegetables and water to set for the extra flavor. Cool it down.
Now, discard the vegetables and store water in a sterilized jar.
Use as required.
