Instructions: 1. Dry-roast for rich flavor: • Place the cow heels, beef bones, celery, carrots, ginger, and garlic in a large roasting pan. • Roast on medium heat until browned and aromatic. 2. Simmer the broth: • Transfer the roasted ingredients to a large pot. • Add the spring water, rock sugar, kalonji seeds, dandelion root, goji berries, oregano, thyme, sage, and parsley. • Stir in the apple cider vinegar and kombucha vinegar. 3. Bring to a boil and skim: • Slowly bring the pot to a boil. Skim off any foam or impurities (scum) from the top. 4. Low and slow simmer: • Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 24-30 hours. This long cooking time extracts all the nutrients and flavors. 5. Strain and chill: • Strain the broth through a fine sieve, discarding the solids. • Pour the broth into a large container and refrigerate overnight. 6. Skim the fat and reheat: • The next day, skim off the hardened fat from the surface. • Reheat the gelatinous broth on the stove until it’s smooth and liquid. 7. Store and freeze: • Pour the broth into sterilized jars, seal, and freeze the majority for later use.
