Method
- Put 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) mixed chopped carrots, celery, onions and leeks in a stockpot. Add a bouquet garni and 10 peppercorns.
- Add 2.5 litres (10 cups) cold water, bring to the boil and then simmer for 1–2 hours. Skim off any scum regularly.
- Press the solids to extract all the flavour, then strain and cool in the fridge.
