There are many requirements for a quality broth that the dish must meet.

First of all, the liquid should be rich, aromatic and tasty.

This broth can be safely made into a healthy dish on its own or used as a base for a luxurious dish. But this is far from the most important criterion for a successful dish.

Most often, housewives try to achieve transparency. This makes the broth truly appetizing.

How ice can help with this task

Many have probably heard that experienced cooks add ice to a dish that has already been prepared. Some believe that this is only due to the temperature difference - thanks to this trick, the freshly prepared broth can be served.

But that's not the only reason.

If you see that the broth is not clear enough, ice will fix this situation. Wait until the dish is completely ready and add a couple of ice cubes.

It is recommended to make the fire low at this stage.

After this, you will need to remove the foam again. Thanks to this trick, the broth will turn out incredibly appetizing.
