Bone Broth Recipe
Bone broth has become quite popular in recent years due to its many health benefits, particularly in improving gut health. Personally, I have experienced the positive effects of bone broth on my digestive system. Whenever I feel a bit under the weather or experience any discomfort in my stomach, I turn to this nourishing concoction for relief.
What makes bone broth notable is its rich concentration of essential amino acids, collagen, and gelatin. These nutrients are known to be incredibly beneficial for gut health, skin health, as well as strong bones and joints.
Ingredients:
4-5 Bones of your choice (I use beef bones mostly)
Water
One zucchini, cut into big pieces.
One onion quartered
Two carrots chopped
Bunch of celery
3-4 inch ginger
5-6 garlic cloves
Handful of basil
Handful of rosemary
Handful of sage
Six whole cloves
One tablespoon whole peppercorns
Salt
Directions:
Place bones in a pot and cover them with water. Allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, then drain all the water.
Add all the other ingredients to the pot. Make sure everything is submerged in water, with at least 4 inches above the ingredients. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
Let it simmer on low, slightly covered, for at least 12 hours. This is where patience meets perfection.
Pro tip: Start your broth-making in the morning, pause it before bedtime, and let it mature overnight for intensified flavor.
Keep an eye on the water level during simmering. Top up as needed to prevent the brew from becoming too concentrated.
Once the broth has cooled, strain it. Store this liquid in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for up to four months.
And there you have it! You have created a potion that promotes joint, gut, and skin health and supports the immune system.
