Ingredients

  • 2 cups fat-free lower-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum or cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup very warm water (120° to 150°)

Instructions

  1. Put the broth in a small saucepan. Heat on medium-high and bring to a full, though not out-of-control, boil.
  2. Combine the xanthan gum and warm water (or cornstarch and warm water). Be particularly mindful when using the xanthan; use a fork and keep the water moving vigorously while slowly sprinkling in the gum.
  3. Pour the gum mixture into the boiling liquid. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 minute. Pour into a heatproof container; cover and reserve for use in various emulsified preparations throughout the book. It'll last for a few days, well refrigerated.
