What each ingredient does
- Beef
- Provides the main meat flavor and collagen, which breaks down into gelatin to give the broth body.
The step that matters
Keep the bottle in the hot water bath. The surrounding water carries heat to the bottle gently, so the beef releases its flavor and collagen slowly instead of the liquid churning or boiling hard inside the bottle.
