Gluten Free Herb & Ginger Sipping Bone Broth
Warm, deeply golden, and layered with the kind of flavor that only comes from a long, slow simmer, this sipping broth is the kind of thing you'll want to make on a Sunday and enjoy all week long. Fresh ginger and turmeric give it a gentle, earthy heat, while rosemary, thyme, and parsley round everything out into something that feels genuinely nourishing. The apple cider vinegar soak before the heat goes on is a quiet but important step ā it helps pull minerals from the bones and sets the foundation for a rich, full-bodied broth. Every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-checking or substitution anxiety, just straightforward whole foods doing their thing. The technique is simple: a good blanch to clean the bones, a low and patient simmer, and a final strain to get that clear, beautiful liquid. Finish it with a squeeze of lemon and a few sliced chives for a little brightness right before serving. Whether you're sipping it from a mug on a cold afternoon or using it as a base for soups and sauces, this broth is the kind of kitchen staple worth keeping on rotation.
