Scrub the mussels and remove the beards. Rinse in several waters. Put them in a kettle with all the other ingredients. Cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for about ten minutes, until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that have not opened. Let the mussels chill and remove them from the shells. Chill until ready to use.
