Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and mix everything together.

Add water to the pot and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and stir to combine.

Pour in 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, lower the temperature, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
