2. Add coursely chopped carrots, onions and celery to the pot.
3. Chop garlic and add to the pot along with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add water and bring to the boil.
5. Reduce to a simmer and leave on a very low heat for a couple of hours.
6. Remove from heat, allow to cool a little and sieve to leave only the juice.
7. When cool leave overnight in the fridge.
