Court broth

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of water
• 0.5 cups white wine
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 onion, chopped
• Half a stalk of celery, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tsp black peppercorns
• 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 1 bay leaf

Preparation:

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes.

In either case, be sure to bring to a boil before using.
