Description
A nourishing and flavorful Scallion Ginger Bone Broth packed with collagen, immune-boosting ingredients, and deep umami richness. Perfect as a warming drink or a versatile soup base.
Ingredients
- Beef or chicken bones
- Fresh ginger (sliced)
- Scallions (chopped)
- Garlic (crushed)
- Apple cider vinegar
- Sea salt
- Whole black peppercorns
- Water
Instructions
- Prepare the Bones: If using raw bones, blanch them in boiling water for 10 minutes to remove impurities. If using roasted bones, ensure they are deeply browned for enhanced flavor.
- Add Aromatics: Place the bones in a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add sliced ginger, chopped scallions, crushed garlic, black peppercorns, and a dash of apple cider vinegar to help extract minerals.
- Simmer Slowly: Pour in enough water to cover all ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for at least 12 hours (or up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor and nutrient extraction).
- Strain the Broth: Use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove all solids, leaving behind a clear, golden broth.
- Season to Taste: Add sea salt to enhance flavor and adjust as needed.
- Store Properly: Let the broth cool before transferring it into airtight containers for refrigeration or freezing.
- Enjoy: Sip warm, use as a soup base, or incorporate it into other dishes.
Notes
- Vegetable Additions: Add carrots, onions, or celery for extra depth.
- Spicy Kick: Add chili flakes or Sichuan peppercorns for heat.
- Herbal Twist: Toss in fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving.
- Lighter Version: Use only chicken bones for a milder, sweeter broth.
