Cinnamon 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 makes you feel nourished from the inside out. So many store-bought broths and warming blends sneak in cinnamon or cinnamon-adjacent spices, which makes finding a truly safe option genuinely frustrating — this one keeps things clean with a lineup you can read and trust. The apple cider vinegar soak before simmering is a smart step that helps draw minerals out of the bones, giving the finished broth real body and depth without any shortcuts. A low, patient simmer over four hours coaxes out a rich, collagen-forward liquid that's savory and complex, with ginger and turmeric doing the heavy lifting on warmth and brightness. Finishing with a squeeze of lemon juice and a scatter of fresh chives lifts the whole thing just before serving, making it feel a little special even on a weeknight. Ladle it straight into a mug and sip it slowly — this is comfort food in its most elemental form.

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.
