Yeast 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 genuinely nurtured from the inside out. A long, slow simmer draws rich minerals and collagen from the beef bones, resulting in a broth that's silky, savory, and satisfying in a way that's hard to put into words until you've had a mug of it. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, store-bought broths and bouillons can be a minefield — many contain yeast extract or autolyzed yeast as a flavor booster, which rules them out entirely. This recipe sidesteps all of that by building its depth the old-fashioned way: bones, aromatics, apple cider vinegar, and time. The initial blanching step keeps the finished broth clean and clear, while the ginger and turmeric add an anti-inflammatory warmth that makes every sip feel intentional. A squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh chives at the end brighten the whole thing beautifully. Sip it straight from a mug, use it as a base for soups, or keep a batch in the fridge for the week ahead — it's endlessly useful.

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.
