Equipment

  • 1 stock pot (or saucepan with lid)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup dried mushrooms (I used shiitake but any type of mushrooms work for this, including porcini mushrooms, oyster mushrooms or a mix. Don't discard the mushrooms after making the stock. You can use them in other recipes.)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon allspice berries
  • 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (use 2 tablespoons if using fresh rosemary)
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage (use 2 tablespoons if using fresh sage)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (use 1 tablespoon if using fresh thyme)
  • 4 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
