2–3 tbsp white or yellow miso paste
1 tbsp fresh ginger, sliced or grated
1 garlic clove, minced (optional, but lovely)
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2–3 tbsp)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or bone broth (or water)

How to Make Healing Miso-Ginger Lemon Detox Broth

This is a calm, no-rush recipe. Put on a playlist, grab your favorite mug, and let’s go.

Step 1: Warm the base

Pour your broth (or water) into a pot and bring it to a gentle simmer. No need to rush—medium heat is perfect.

Step 2: Infuse the flavor

Add the ginger and garlic (if using). Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, just enough time for the broth to soak up all that cozy warmth.

Step 3: Pause the heat

This part matters. Turn off the heat and let the broth cool slightly. Miso doesn’t like to be boiled—it prefers a gentler approach.

Step 4: Smooth the miso

In a small bowl, whisk the miso paste with a ladle of warm broth until smooth. This keeps the broth silky instead of clumpy.

Step 5: Bring it together

Stir the miso mixture back into the pot. Add lemon juice and soy sauce or tamari if you’re using it. Give it a gentle stir.

Step 6: Serve and savor

Pour into mugs or bowls. Top with green onions and fresh herbs. Sip slowly. Feel better.

Cooking Tips (Because Life Happens)

Too strong? Add a splash of hot water. Broth is forgiving like that.
Want more body? Toss in a handful of baby spinach and let it wilt.
Sensitive stomach day? Skip the garlic and keep the lemon light.
Meal-prep win: Make a batch and reheat gently—never boil after the miso is added.

If your broth looks a little cloudy, don’t stress. That’s just comfort doing its thing.
