How to make bone broth - Recipe for Ketogenic diet

Recipe for Bone broth

Bone broth is one of the best drinks  suggested to have  for most of Ketogenic resources on the internet.

So I bought 2 kilos of  bones and decided to try.

Materials:

2kg caw bone ( you may use any animal bones) There were slightly meat pieces on bones.

Water( I used as much water to cover the bones surface) Around 2litres.

Salt

Apple cider vinegar

Black pepper, garlic, daphne tree leafs,rosemary

 

Directions;

Bleaching;

I have washed the bones and placed into a large  bowl.

Added  water untill covering the bones.

Added 1 water glass of apple cider and waited 30min.

This procedure called bleaching. According to internet  sources ,heat  tightens the pores of  bones and slows down the collagen get out while boiling. So they do bleaching to open pores before boiling.

 

Boiling the first water then grilling the bones in oven

After bleaching, I poured the water and placed the bones  into pot.

Added around 2litres of water ( enough to cover bones surface)

Boiled the water , after boiling around  10 -20 minutes, stopped the heat and take out the water. Its not suggested to use this first bone juice. There is also  a bit smell  which makes it hard to eat or drink.

Take out the bones from pot , placed into  oven tray.

Grilled the bones in the oven for around 40minutes. Bones are caramelised and a nice yummy smell came out.

 

Making the broth

After caramelising the bones in the oven, placed them into stainless steel pot and added fresh drinking water.

Closed the cover and waited untill boiling.

After boiling started, I reduced the heat to minimum and  slowly simmered the bones untill morning.

Its suggested to keep it  on heat between 24hours -48hours. But I cant afford that much time just waiting for it.

1 hour before I close the heat, added  salt,black pepper, garlic, daphne leafs, 3 spoons of apple cider into pot.

Then it was all ready. There was no water  loss during the simmering.

I tried one glass, salt was ok but apple vinegar was  better if I have added  a bit more.

At the first boiling, full kitchen was smelling, on second and real boiling there was no smell and it was very delicious to drink. Additionally I take the water into jars to freze in the fridge, I decided to simmer bones once more to get more out of them.
