A friend and I make this usually at this time of the year, in our slow cookers/crockpots.
Two questions. Do you feel any health improvements from drinking the broth?
And can you buy the bones (with marrow) fresh in the US? I've only ever seen them frozen there. Here in Europe, not frozen. And the Turkish butcher will chop them up to your liking.
I haven't actually drank it, like tea. But I do use it for cooking. I don't know if that would make any difference in it's health benefits or not. I do have some health issues, including back & bone problems and am doing lots of stretches, exercise, supplements and diet changes that also contribute. I can say my pain level has improved considerably....to the point I no longer rely on pain relievers. I do have bad days and will take something for it, but not several times a day.
Most of the bones I find are usually frozen and sometimes I can find them fresh but not often.
This is what I usually buy:
With this, I would cut the meat from the bone & use the bone for the broth and the meat used for something else. Meat can be used in broth, but I don't just because I cook it for so long. 2-3 days. That is the way I do it, but others may do it differently.
