Tips

  • If you don't use enough bones, your broth will lack collagen and be watery instead of gelatinous.
  • Freezing broth in single-serving breast milk bags minimizes contaminants.
  • If using an Instant Pot, the cooking time will be 4-6 hours instead of 24-48 hours.
  • Always cook with love.
