  • wash your veggies thoroughly, cut off the ends and then chop them roughly, don't take off the leaves when you're making a stock because that gives a lot of flavor

  • let it simmer for three four more hours
  • switch it off and let it cool a bit so you can clean off the stock
  • take out all of the solids with your spider strainer and put it into a bowl
  • strain it into smaller bowls so it's easier to handle and then freeze it
