Quick Summary

Bone broth is a collagen-rich, mineral-dense liquid made by simmering animal bones with vegetables and aromatics. It serves as a foundational element for soups, risottos, or as a soothing drink on its own.

Ingredients

3 lbs beef or chicken bones
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 yellow onion, quartered

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 head garlic, halved
1 tsp black peppercorns
2 bay leaves

Method

01. Roast your bones at 400°F for 30 minutes to deepen the color and flavor.
02. Place roasted bones in a large stockpot and cover with cold, filtered water.
03. Add vinegar, vegetables, and herbs. Bring to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce to a whisper-quiet simmer.
04. Simmer for at least 12 hours. Strain the solids through a fine-mesh sieve and discard them.

Stewart's Secret: Add the apple cider vinegar before adding water. It helps draw out the minerals from the bones more effectively during the long simmer.
