Herb-Infused Broth Sip

A warm, savory ritual that satisfies the urge for salt without the sodium units.

Volume Units

🥛 0.5

Sodium Units

🧂 < 1/4

Ingredients

Filtered Water 6 oz
Fresh Thyme 1 sprig
Whole Peppercorns 3
Smashed Garlic Clove 1
Nutritional Yeast 1/2 tsp (Optional)

Translation Logic

Bullion cubes are "Sodium Landmines." By using aromatics (thyme and garlic) steeped in hot water, we trigger the "umami" savory receptors. Adding a tiny bit of nutritional yeast provides a 'cheesy' depth without the phosphorus risk.

Souro's Behavioral Tip:

Savory warm rituals are perfect for cold evenings when you want to snack. Sip this slowly from a small mug. Note: Check with your care team on your fluid limit. This counts as 0.5 units (🥛 0.5).

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.
