The Slow Steep Method
- Boil: Bring 6 oz of filtered water to a boil in a small pot.
- Aromatics: Add the thyme sprig, peppercorns, and smashed garlic clove. Remove from heat immediately.
- Steep: Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. This allows the savory oils to infuse the water.
- Strain: Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a warm mug.
- Enhance: Stir in the nutritional yeast if desired. Enjoy the warmth and the aroma.
