Add the turmeric, ginger, salt, and pepper to the pot, then cover and let it simmer for at least 8-12 hours. The longer it simmers, the richer the broth.
Once ready, strain the broth to remove the bones and vegetables. Discard the solids.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve this broth as a warm drink on its own, or use it as a base for soups and stews.
Store the leftover broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
If you freeze it, try to store it in smaller portions so you can defrost just what you need.
Variations:
For added flavor, you can include other herbs like rosemary or sage.
If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can use vegetable broth instead of bones and add more plant-based collagen-boosting ingredients like spirulina or seaweed.
You can experiment with adding other anti-inflammatory spices like cinnamon or black pepper to enhance the benefits.
