Homemade Bone Broth



Powder Bone Both? - No, this is for lazies. 
We homemade our own Bone or Chicken Broth.

Bone Broth is rich in collagen and good for our own bones, joints, nails, hair and skin. Then, it increases the health.

Ingredients for the Bones Broth:

1,5 kg/2,5 lb of Marrows Bones (ask the butcher guy to cut the bones in smalls pieces)
some Ribs (optional)
1/2 lemon or apple cider vinegar or half of both
3 carrots chopped
1 onion chopped
3 celery chopped
2 leeks chopped
1 tablespoon thyme (better fresh or dried)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
Water enough to keep everything always covered.

Washed the marrow bones with boiling hot water, leaving them at least 1 hour soaking in hot water and 1 lemon squeezed.

Transfer the bones and the vegetables to a Crock Pot  to cook for at least 12 hours or more, some people leave for 24 hours. If you do not have one you can use a regular big pan and cook on the stove top, very slowly, for the same amount of hours.

After remove the fat add the vegetables (carrots, celery s, l)  and spices (thyme, pepper, bay leave) lemon and salt. Bring to boil again and reduce to heat to low.

Let it cook for at least 12 hours till 24 hours. How much more it is better. If you do not have time in one day, you can cook some hours in one and some ours in another.

After to cook, let it to cool down and refrigerate to remove the fat that will stay to the top. Some people remove the vegetable, I just remove the bones, the vegetables I leave to use with the broth.
