This is pure nutrition derived from the minerals found in the usually thrown away peelings and ends of vegetables and culinary herbs. Great way to use garlic skin, which is FULL of minerals and nutrients.

Bring water to a boil. Wash and dump in all of your peelings, scraps, ends, bits or skins and leave to simmer for about 4 hours. If it's not exactly 4 hours, give or take, it's not a problem. Just as long as the minerals in the scraps are given time to leech out into the water. Simply strain away all the bits and throw them away. Save the broth to use as a base for soups or stews or add a little salt for taste and sip your vitamins and minerals when you're sick.
