Step 1
Start by lightly coating the bottom of your slow cooker with some olive oil. Toss in the celery, carrots, potato, onion, lettuce, beer, shallots, fennel, bell pepper, apple, parsley, peppercorns, lemon, ginger, tamari, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and bay leaf. Pour enough water over everything to just cover the ingredients.
Step 2
Set your slow cooker to Low and let it cook for 8 to 10 hours, or if you're short on time, cook on High for about 4 hours. Once it’s done, use a slotted spoon to fish out and discard the solid bits from the broth.
Step 3
Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large pot or bowl. Pour the broth through the cheesecloth to strain out any remaining solids, leaving you with a nice clear, flavorful broth ready to use.
Serving Options
Enjoy this broth on its own as a soothing drink, or use it as a base for soups, stews, and grain dishes. It also works well for cooking rice, quinoa, or lentils to add extra depth and nutrition to your meals.
How To Keep It Fresh
Let the broth cool completely before storing. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, freeze in portion-sized containers or ice cube trays for easy use later.
