How to prepare bone broth

Chop up vegetables for your bone broth, to enrich your broth with vitamins, minerals and flavour. Choose from any or all of the following:

Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.

Place the pot onto the stove top and bring up to the boil.

Once boiling, lower to a simmer, cover and cook for at least a couple of hours. The longer the bone broth cooks for, the more minerals will be released into the broth. Cook until done to your liking.

Once cool, strain the broth into mason jars, a pot or another vessel until needed.

You can drink a mug (or bowl) full of broth as a side for a meal or use it in place of stock.
