Apart from the anti-inflammatory + immunity boosting benefits, and various nutrients to be found in shiitake, I also find them to add a great earthy, almost smoky flavor to this broth.

These delightful little rainbow peppercorns have got to be one of my favorite ingredients of all time! If you've only used black peppercorns before, you are truly in for a treat when you discover the subtle spiciness and fruitiness of these fun little rainbow peppercorns.

Ah, calendula. When I think of Calendula, I think of the words 'soothing happiness'. Not only is calendula a wonderful edible flower packed with anti-septic and anti-fungal properties, but it adds a dash of sunshine and beauty to anything it is used in, and well, I find that rather important!

Common Recipe Questions

How do I use this broth?

  • On its own, to enjoy from a bowl like a soup or sip from a mug like a tea.
  • As a soup base in place of any vegetable stock.
  • As a base in curries to use in place of water or coconut milk.
  • Use in place of water when cooking grains such as rice or quinoa.
  • Use in homemade salad dressing recipes.
  • As a base for gravies.

How do I store Healing Broth?

I like to strain this broth, let it cool completely, then store it in glass jars in the refrigerator for up to one week. Alternatively, this broth can be stored in the freezer for up to about 4 months. To freeze, I like to pour the broth into molds or ice cube trays, and then once frozen, store the cubes in freezer safe bags. Alternatively, you can also store the broth in freezer safe glass jars or containers.

Where’s the salt?

This sodium-free broth doesn’t contain salt simply because it doesn’t need it! It is truly quite flavorful and rich on its own.

Top Tips for Making an Herbal Broth Recipe

Get Creative

While I very much love the proportions and ingredients listed in the recipe, there is room to adapt this recipe to your tastes and liking. Not a fan of a certain ingredient? Simply omit, or replace with a plant or fungi of your choice.

Low Simmer

I find keeping this broth at a very low simmer to produce the richest flavors and help maintain the health benefits as much as possible.

Cool It Off

Be certain to let the broth cool completely before storing. Otherwise, if using the broth straight away, it is absolutely delightful still warm!

A Bit of Spice

This healing mushroom broth has a slight spicy kick from the rainbow peppercorns. It is not an overwhelming spicy, rather a nice warming sensation throughout. If you are not a fan of spicy at all, you might want to omit the peppercorns or cut the amount in half.
