Chili Sippin' Broth 💚
Woke up with sniffles, a sore throat, and brain fog this morning. Oh, and soreness, but that's not unusual. Decided to take a break around lunchtime to make this chili sippin' broth!
Whenever I'm sick like this, I do a warm cayenne gargle for 5-10 mins (gargle, spit, repeat), and somehow it just always seems to clear things up within a day or so, soo.. maybe 18 hrs left. I have theories about why it works, but I'll save that for another time.
Anyway! I 💚 savory things, and I keep trying to make savory broths for sipping, especially for times like these. Here's one I made today that's like, umm, chili tea? It's tasty 😋
🌶️ Chili Sippin' Broth
1 1/4 cup (10 oz.) water
1 tsp chili powder (I used @rancho_gordo New Mexico chili powder)
1/2 tsp cumin, ground
1/4 tsp onion, granulated
1/4 tsp garlic, granulated
20 cranks finely ground black pepper
Sea salt, to taste (a bit less that 1/8 tsp)
A couple dashes MSG
1/8 tsp Vegemite
2 tsp tomato paste
Few drops pecan wood liquid smoke
Whisk all ingredients together in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until tomato paste and Vegemite are dissolved. Simmer and whisk occasionally for ~5 minutes, salt to taste, enjoy! ☕
