  • Use hot water instead of boiling water if concerned about glass breaking.
  • Use a towel when shaking the jar as the glass will be hot.
  • Store prepped jars in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Bring mason jars to room temperature before pouring in hot water to prevent thermal shock.
  • Opt for reduced sodium versions of Better Than Bouillon and soy sauce to reduce sodium.
  • Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce if needed for lower sodium.
