Artificial Food Coloring Free Herb & Ginger Sipping Bone Broth

Warm, deeply golden, and fragrant with ginger, turmeric, and fresh herbs, this sipping broth is the kind of thing you'll want to curl up with on a cold afternoon. Every ingredient here is whole and real — beef bones, garden vegetables, and a handful of fresh aromatics — so there's no need to scan a label for synthetic dyes or artificial color additives hiding in a packaged broth base. The apple cider vinegar soak before simmering is a smart step that helps draw minerals from the bones, giving the finished broth that rich, full-bodied depth you just can't get from a carton. A long, low simmer with rosemary, thyme, parsley, and bay leaves builds layer after layer of savory flavor, while the ginger and turmeric add a gentle warmth and that gorgeous natural color. Finishing each mug with a squeeze of lemon juice and a scatter of fresh chives keeps things bright and lively. It's nourishing, completely clean, and honestly one of the most satisfying things you can make from scratch.

10 cups cold water
3 medium carrots, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh turmeric, sliced, or 1 tsp ground turmeric
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
½ bunch fresh parsley (stems and leaves)
2 bay leaves
1 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste

For serving

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the beef bones in the stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then drain and rinse the bones under cold running water to remove any grey foam or impurities. Rinse the pot as well.
2
Return the cleaned bones to the pot. Add the apple cider vinegar and 10 cups cold water. Let the bones soak for 20 minutes — this helps draw minerals from the bones before heat is applied.
