Did you know bone broth is basically prehistoric Gatorade? Ancient humans boiled bones in animal stomachs. You have a ceramic pot and electricity. You’re living the luxury version.
Your broth will look gross at first. A grey, cloudy scum floats to the top. That’s the “impurities.” Skim it off if you want. Or don’t. It’s harmless protein.
When it’s done, the broth should be amber gold. It should coat your lips like a savory lip gloss. That’s the collagen talking.
Strain and Claim Your Gold
Get a big bowl. Put a colander over it. Pour the whole pot through. The bones will make a satisfying clatter. Discard them with a sense of ancient ritual.
The liquid is liquid gold. It’s jam-packed with minerals like calcium and magnesium. Your hair and nails will thank you later.
Pour it into jars. Let it cool on the counter. Watch it turn into a wobbly, semi-solid jelly. That’s okay. That’s the sign of a perfect batch.
