How to Make Bone Broth
Prep time:Cook time:
Author: Wellness Mama;  Serves: 16+
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds of bones from a healthy source
  • 1 gallon of water
  • 1 onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon of sea salt and additional herbs or spices to taste.
  1. Put bones in large pot and pour in the water and vinegar. Let sit for 20-30 minutes in the cool water. The acid helps make the nutrients in the bones more available.
  2. Rough chop and add the vegetables (except the parsley and garlic, if using) to the pot. Add any salt, pepper, spices, or herbs, if using.
  3. Now, bring the broth to a boil. Once it has reached a vigorous boil, reduce to a simmer. Move to a crock pot on low.
  4. During the first few hours of simmering, if a frothy/foamy layer (impurities) floats to the surface, scoop it off with a spoon and throw this away. Do this check every 20 minutes for the first 2 hours.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain using a fine metal strainer to remove all the bits of bone and vegetable. When cool enough, store in a gallon size glass jar in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later use.
