Notes
I can't really give you a recipe for this vegetable broth to be honest, it all depends with how much vegetables scraps you have. You can decide to make a lot of broth or just a little depending on how often you eat vegetables and fruits.Just note though, the more scraps, skins, cores etc you'll have the rich and dense your vegetable broth will be.Don't forget to squeeze the cooked scraps to remove extra nutrients.
