Equipment

  • 1 Large stockpot or slow cooker
  • 1 Fine mesh strainer
  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1-3 Storage containers or jars

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Mixed beef and chicken bones (preferably grass-fed or organic)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced
  • 1 2-inch piece of fresh turmeric, sliced (or 1 tsp ground turmeric)
  • 2 Whole star anise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 bunch bunch fresh cilantro
  • 12 cups cold water (or enough to cover bones)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the beef and chicken bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, or until browned. Roasting the bones helps to bring out their rich flavors.
  • Transfer the roasted bones to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, garlic, sliced ginger, sliced turmeric, star anise, apple cider vinegar, black peppercorns, bay leaf, and cilantro.
  • Pour in 12 cups of cold water, or enough to cover the bones completely. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 24-48 hours. The longer the cook time, the more flavorful and nutrient-rich the broth will become. During this time, periodically skim any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
  • After the desired cook time, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Carefully strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl, discarding the solids.
  • Season the strained broth with salt, to taste. Store the bone broth in airtight containers or jars, and refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To serve, gently reheat the Exotic Ginger-Turmeric Bone Broth on the stovetop or in the microwave, and enjoy as a warming beverage, or use as a base for Asian-inspired soups and dishes.
