Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2–3 tbsp white or yellow miso paste
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, sliced or grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2–3 tbsp)
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or bone broth (or water)
- 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari (optional, for depth)
Garnish
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley or baby spinach – optional)
Instructions
- Simmer the Broth: Bring the vegetable broth or water to a gentle simmer in a pot over medium heat.
- Infuse Flavors: Add the sliced or grated ginger and minced garlic (if using) to the simmering broth. Let it cook gently for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse deeply.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Avoid boiling the broth after adding miso to preserve its beneficial probiotics.
- Incorporate Miso Paste: In a small bowl, whisk the miso paste with a little of the warm broth until smooth and creamy, then stir this mixture back into the main pot gently.
- Add Lemon and Soy Sauce: Stir in the fresh lemon juice and soy sauce or tamari (if using) to add bright acidity and depth of flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the detox broth into mugs or bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and optional fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or baby spinach for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- Do not boil the broth after adding the miso paste to preserve its probiotics and delicate flavors.
- Adjust the amount of ginger and lemon juice to taste based on your preference for spiciness and acidity.
- You can use either vegetable or bone broth depending on your dietary preferences; water can be used for a lighter version.
- Optional garlic adds depth and additional immune-boosting properties.
- This broth is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently without boiling.
- For a vegan option, make sure to use vegetable broth and tamari instead of soy sauce if gluten-free is needed.
