Skim and discard residue. Add bouquet garni, peppercorns, and lemon; return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes; skim and discard residue frequently.

    Strain stock into a bowl through a colander lined with cheesecloth. Allow to cool before storing in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.



    Cook's Notes:

    Try using red wine in place of white, if you prefer.

    To make your own bouquet garni, tie together 2 thyme sprigs, 2 pieces of green leek leaves, 2 sprigs of parsley, 1 celery leaf, and 1 bay leaf using kitchen twine.
