Capsaicin Free Cilantro-Lime Bone Broth Sippers
Warm, savory, and bright with citrus, this sippable broth is the kind of thing you'll want to curl up with on a slow morning or a chilly afternoon. Bone broth gets layered with smashed garlic, fresh ginger, and ground turmeric before a generous hit of lime juice and zest brings the whole cup to life. Coconut aminos add a subtle umami depth that makes it feel far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. For anyone avoiding capsaicin — whether due to sensitivity, a gut protocol, or an elimination diet — finding a savory, warming drink that actually has some kick and personality can feel nearly impossible. This one delivers that satisfying heat-adjacent comfort through ginger and turmeric without a trace of pepper or chili of any kind. Fresh cilantro stirred in at the end keeps things vibrant and herbaceous, and a final drizzle of olive oil gives each mug a silky finish. It's simple enough to pull together on a weeknight but feels intentional and nourishing every single time.
