Great tip from Amy Wells, Yogini
Over the course of the week accumulate your veggie scraps in a plastic bag. Keep the ends, peels (including onion peels, carrot tops, etc.) and “ugly” pieces (never moldy or bad food, of course) of any of the following veggies in the bag: carrots, celery, onions, spinach, garlic, parsnips, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, and potatoes.
Fill up a colander pasta pot with water and toss the ingredients in the colander. Add a fresh clove of garlic or two, crushed; a bay leaf, several peppercorns, and any extra fresh herbs you have on hand.
Bring to a boil, and then reduce to simmer for 45 minutes. Allow the broth to cool.
Use your stock as a base for the Cleansing Dish.
