water.

On a portable range, place a medium-sized pot (1/2 gallon should do). Place a couple of slices of kombu (a sort of

kelp) and cover with cold water. Gently bring the water to a boil and remove the kombu just before it actually starts

to boil. When the water is boiling very, very gently, you're set.
