3. Once boiled turn to low and allow to simmer

   • 24 hours for chicken bones

   • 48 hours for beef bones

4. Check every couple of hours and add water when needed

Notes

Cooking slowly and at a low temperature is essential to extract as much nutrients from the bone as possible.

 

You can add vegetables to the crock pot if you would like to make soup.

OR

You can heat a cup of broth a day on the stove, add a little salt, pepper and turmeric and then drink it (recipe above).
