You may have heard of ’bouquet garni’ — herbs that transform a pot of chicken bones into the most delicious, yet delicate, broth. Here’s how to make one.

Ingredients

teaspoon dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon dried savory
1/4 teaspoon crumbled dry bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
5 peppercorns

You can change the proportion of herbs according to your preference

What’s next

Crush together the herbs and spices. Pace into a small bag made from several layers of cheesecloth. Tightly tie the bag shut with string.
Add the garni while simmering the ingredients for any soup. Take out before serving and discard. Makes 1 bouquet garni.
