Prepare broccoli by removing the stems and cutting the crown down to bite-size pieces.
In a stovetop pot, add water and bring to boil on high heat. Once boiling, add in broccoli and boil for 90 seconds or until desired tenderness. Immediate run broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process, completely strain out the water, and then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Note - it's important that minimal water remains in the broccoli otherwise it will dilute the flavors.
