  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional) the vinegar imparts no flavor but helps pull the nutrients out of the bones

We cook this recipe for 1-2 hours (or 3 to 4 if using beef bones) but the longer it simmers, the more savory, nutrient-rich, and concentrated the broth will be, so feel free to cook longer (up to 24 hours)
