Gravy often requires water to thin it, but instead of pouring water straight from the tap, you can toss in the water you boiled your vegetables in.

Not only will you save water, but using this vegetable-infused water — alongside the pan drippings — will add more flavor and depth to your gravy.

Additionally, the vegetable water will contain vitamins from the vegetables, so you’ll be transferring the vitamins and making your gravy healthier.
