  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced

In this Recipe

A small glass jar with a white lid, labeled "THE FULLEST Saffron Threads," holds vivid saffron strands and is set against a plain white background.

Saffron Threads

Saffron in its most pure raw form. Great for infusions, tea, and cooking.

Instructions

1 Prepare Bones

Place bones in a large stockpot or slow cooker and cover with water. Add apple cider vinegar and let sit for 15–20 minutes to help extract minerals.

2 Add Veggies & Herbs

Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, ginger, thyme, peppercorns, and a pinch of salt.

3 Simmer

Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12–24 hours (slow cooker: low 12–24 hrs), skimming foam occasionally.

4 Add Saffron

In the last 15–20 minutes of cooking, add Saffron Threads steeped in warm water. This preserves the delicate aroma and therapeutic properties.

5 Strain & Store

Remove bones and vegetables, strain broth into jars. Store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze for later.

6 Serve

Sip warm as-is or use as a base for soups, risottos, or stew.

Enjoy it warm on its own or use it as a base for soups and stews. It’s a simple, grounding staple to keep on hand all season long.
