The ingredients for Vegetable Detox Broth are:

Beets, boiled, 1 cup slices
Carrots, raw, 1 cup, chopped
Celery, raw, 1 cup, diced
Watercress, 1 cup, chopped
Broccoli, fresh, 1 cup, chopped or diced

Here is how you make Vegetable Detox Broth:

Wash the produce thoroughly by soaking in a tub with warm water with ? cup of white vinegar for 10 minutes and scrubbing them.To make this broth use a 5 to 6-quart container.Fill it with one and one half quarts of filtered water.As much as possible, cut the veggies directly into the water to prevent oxidation. Also, don?t peel beets and carrots. There are some nutrients locked into skins.Cover and cook slowly for at least 30 minutes.Turn off heat and let it soak for another half an hour.Then strain. I use a colander into a larger bowl.This will make approximately 8 large glasses of broth.Try to use all the above mentioned ingredients, but if you have a little more room in your container and wish to add a bit more water, plus some more vegetables, feel free.You?ve got a bit of license regarding quantity, anyway, each day. However, try not to make more than a 2 day supply, as you want to keep it relatively fresh.For improved taste, you can try a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a small pinch of sea salt.Serve this broth warm.Serving Size: Makes 8 8oz cupsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MATILDETELES.
