  • Add in white wine and cook until wine is reduce in half. Then, add in garlic, peppercorns, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, thyme. Cook for about 5 min.
  • Add in water, and parmesan rinds. Cook for about 2 hours stirring often to make sure parm doesnt stick to bottom as it melts. Taste test and add some lemon juice at the end. you can strain it to remove all the herbs/ garlic shells and rinds. Enjoy!
