Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef bones
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large onion
- 3 celery stalks
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Place 2 lbs beef bones, 2 diced carrots, 1 diced onion, 3 chopped celery stalks, and 4 minced garlic cloves in a slow cooker. Cover with 8 cups cold water and add 1 tbsp sea salt. Cook on low for 12 hours until bones are tender.
- Step 2: Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Return broth to the slow cooker, add 2 tbsp coconut aminos, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until reduced by 1/4.
- Step 3: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley until fragrant. Pour into mugs and serve warm. The broth should taste deeply savory with a hint of umami, not overly salty.

Can I substitute ingredients in Migraine-Relief Bone Broth Elixir?
