BHA & BHT Free Slow-Simmered Bone Broth

Store-bought broths and bouillons are notorious for sneaking in synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT, which makes finding a truly clean option frustratingly difficult. This slow-simmered version is built entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients — roasted beef bones, fresh vegetables, and a handful of herbs — so you know exactly what's going in the pot. The apple cider vinegar does quiet but important work here, drawing minerals out of the bones during that initial 30-minute rest before the heat even comes on. Roasting the bones first at high heat is what gives the finished broth its deep amber color and that rich, savory backbone you just can't get from a carton. Fresh thyme, rosemary, parsley, ginger, and turmeric layer in warmth and complexity without a single additive in sight. After 10 to 12 hours of a lazy, barely-there simmer, what you're left with is something genuinely nourishing — glossy, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. Sip it straight from a mug, use it as a base for soups and braises, or freeze it in portions so you always have a clean, preservative-free option on hand.
