  1. Step 1

    Boil the kettle and add 200ml hot water to the tea bag. Leave it to infuse for 5 minutes then remove the bag to prevent the broth becoming too bitter.

  2. Step 2

    Simmer the broth over the heat with a lemongrass stick and the Thai basil for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the purple sprouting broccoli and salmon and poach for a further 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Take it off the heat and allow to stand for 2 minutes before serving. Do not throw the broth away or serve dry as this is where all the goodness is.
