Rich, deeply savory, and built on nothing but whole ingredients, this slow-simmered broth is the kind of thing that makes your kitchen smell incredible for an entire day. Roasting the beef bones first coaxes out a deep, caramelized flavor that you simply cannot get from a carton on the grocery shelf, and the dried shiitake mushrooms add an earthy, umami backbone that takes the whole pot to another level. Apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals and collagen from the bones during the long simmer, while turmeric and fresh ginger give the finished liquid a subtle warmth that feels nourishing from the first sip. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, which means no hunting through labels or worrying about what might have snuck into a packaged product. After 10 to 12 hours of gentle simmering, you strain everything out and are left with a glossy, amber broth that gels beautifully once chilled ā a sign of all that good collagen doing its thing. Use it as a base for soups and stews, sip it straight from a mug, or freeze it in portions so you always have something homemade on hand.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the beef bones in a single layer in a large roasting pan and roast for 30ā35 minutes, until deeply browned on the surface.
Transfer the roasted bones to a 12-quart (or larger) stockpot. Pour off and discard any excess fat from the roasting pan, then add 1 cup of the cold water to the pan and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Pour this liquid into the stockpot.
