Instructions

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker and set on low for 6-8 hours. Pour through a fine-mesh metal sieve (you could also add a cheesecloth to make sure you get out all of the herb bits and other grit). Store in sterilized jars or containers in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Alternatively, you can do this on the stove for about 1-2 hours: bring ingredients to a boil then cover and lower to a simmer. However, even with a lid, a lot of the liquid will boil off and you'll make less broth than you would in a slow cooker (unless you have a massive pot, which I do not).
