Some Extra Tips

  • Roast your bones first. You can use any type of meat/bones and if you have time, roasting bones caramelizes their proteins and releases some fat. And that means a richer and more robust flavor for you.
  • Use wine for a touch of acidity. An acidic ingredient like wine helps to balance the flavors in bone broth, and gives better flavor.
  • Spoon off any foam or scum that rises to the top, while it’s mostly made of protein and is fine to eat, it can make your broth cloudy and muddy the flavor.
