Capsaicin 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 that feels genuinely restorative from the very first sip. A long, slow simmer draws rich collagen and minerals from the beef bones, giving the finished broth that silky, full-bodied quality you just can't get from a carton. The apple cider vinegar soak before the heat goes on is a small but smart step that helps coax even more goodness out of the bones before the real cooking begins. For anyone navigating capsaicin sensitivity, bone broth can be a minefield — so many store-bought versions sneak in chili, cayenne, or "spice blends" that make label-reading exhausting. This one keeps things clean and warming through ginger, turmeric, rosemary, and thyme, delivering that cozy, complex depth without a single hot pepper in sight. A squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh chives at the end brighten everything up beautifully, though the broth is absolutely worth sipping plain straight from the mug. It's the kind of recipe you'll want to make on a Sunday so you have mugs of it ready to pull from the fridge all week long.

Ingredients

4 servings

2 lb beef bones (knuckle, marrow, or neck bones)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
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.
