Bring 4 quarts of water and 2 teaspoons of salt to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water too and set to the side.

Put the broccoli florets in the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green and just barely tender.

With a slotted spoon, remove the broccoli and immediately plunge in ice water.

When the broccoli is completely cool, drain it from the ice water and pat dry with a paper towel.
