One rod, three cobblestone
Mine stone with any pickaxe — it drops cobblestone; three pieces cover the base. Blackstone or cobbled deepslate can stand in for the cobble. The rod comes from a blaze in a nether fortress. Not every blaze drops one, so bring spare food and a shield.
Rod in the center
Open the Crafting Table. Drop the blaze rod in the very center. Fill the entire bottom row with cobblestone. One brewing stand appears on the right; take it. You can slide the same stack up so the cobble sits in the middle row. This shape needs the 3×3 Crafting Table.
Powder to light it
Place the stand. One extra rod in any crafting square becomes two blaze powder — that is the fuel, in the top-left slot. Water bottles go in the three bottom holders. Mine the stand with a pickaxe to pick it back up. An unemployed villager who claims yours becomes a cleric.
