How do I make Bone Broth with VitaClay?

Maybe you've been reading about how great bone broth is for your health.

Maybe you saw this book by Sally Fallon, extolling the myriad benefits of bone broth for pretty much every part of the body.

It's great for hair, skin and nails; it's like a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement all rolled into one, and of course it's got plenty of calcium and is great for bones, growing and already grown!

It's even great for healing digestive issues, and with the research linking digestive health with overall immunity and even with brain health, that's something to get excited about!

So how does one make this magical health elixir, you ask, and what can you do with it once you do?

Well, here at VitaClay we love our bone broth. I make it at my house at least once a week.

I keep a batch (several jars-full) in the fridge and add it to pretty much everything savory. Sometimes I even drink it from a mug with a little real salt!

It can also be frozen if you want to keep it much longer than a couple of weeks, or just make a really huge batch.

Here are step-by-step instructions for how to make your very own bone broth at home:

• Round up bones from bone-in meat you've eaten at meals, or buy soup bones from the grocery store or local farm (soup bones usually have lots of gelatin-making cartilage and even some meat that can be eaten with the soup.. if you don't see gelatin in your pot, buy soup bones).
• (You can also add veggie scraps from onions, carrots, celery, or anything else to add flavor and depth to your broth onion skins and eggshells can even be used to increase nutrition!)
• Place the bones in the clay pot, and fill the pot almost to the top with water (leave SOME room as the liquid will boil up and froth will gather up to the top, so keep that in mind.
• Set the VitaClay on “soup” for as long as you can (for about 4-5 hours).
• After 4-5 hours of cooking, let the VitaClay do its thing (all of our Vitaclay models, except the Yogurt maker, will automatically click-on to "warm mode" for 10-12 hours after setting time is finished).
• After that, you're set to go! Filter the gelatin/liquid from the bones and enjoy!
