Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Water – 8 cups: Forms the hydrating base and carries the flavors beautifully.
White or light miso paste – ½ cup: Provides probiotics for gut health and a rich umami taste.
Garlic finely grated – 8 cloves: Natural immune booster and antimicrobial.
Fresh ginger grated – 2 tablespoons: Adds warming, anti-inflammatory properties.
Fresh horseradish grated – 1 tablespoon: Helps clear sinuses and boosts circulation.
Avocado or coconut oil – 2 teaspoons: Supports absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
Raw apple cider vinegar – 2 tablespoons: Adds gentle detoxifying and alkalizing benefits.
Ground turmeric – 1 teaspoon: Anti-inflammatory powerhouse with earthy flavor.
Sea salt – ½ teaspoon adjust to taste: Balances the flavors.
Lemon juice – juice of 1 large lemon: Fresh vitamin C and bright acidity.
Lemon zest optional – zest of ½ lemon: Enhances flavor and aroma.
Scallion sliced – 1 for garnish: Adds color and a mild crisp finish.

Method

Start by mixing grated garlic, ginger, horseradish, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, oil, and salt in a medium bowl. This creates a fragrant golden paste that forms the foundation of your broth.
Pour 8 cups of water into a large pot and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Avoid boiling to preserve delicate nutrients.
Whisk the miso paste with a small amount of hot water in a separate bowl until smooth. This prevents clumping and maintains the probiotics.
Turn off the heat and slowly stir the miso mixture into the warm water. Add lemon juice and zest, mixing gently to keep the enzymes intact.
Ladle into mugs or bowls, top with sliced scallions, and enjoy immediately. The aroma alone feels calming and restorative.

Notes

I love adding a small pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption.
For deeper flavor, I sometimes let the ginger and garlic infuse for a few minutes before adding miso.
I always zest the lemon fresh; it makes a noticeable difference in brightness.
Never boil the broth after adding miso—it kills the probiotics.
