GINGER COLLAGEN BROTH
Ginger Collagen Broth is a deeply nourishing and aromatic soup designed to comfort the body and awaken the senses. This collagen broth contains beef bone broth as the base, which provides collagen and essential nutrients that promote joint, skin and digestive health. Freshly grated ginger adds warmth and anti-inflammatory benefits, while mushrooms bring an earthy richness. The coriander contributes a fresh herbal layer and a splash of apple cider vinegar enhances digestion. This light and zingy ginger collagen broth is ideal as a cleansing start of the day or a soothing evening reset.

TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Ginger Collagen Broth:
- Use Fresh Ginger: Freshly grated ginger delivers a sharper, cleaner taste than powdered forms.
- Slice Mushrooms Thinly: Thinner slices cook faster and integrate better into the light broth.
- Don’t Overboil: Simmer gently to preserve the collagen and natural richness of the bone broth.
- Add Vinegar Last: Incorporating Vinegar near the end helps keep its beneficial acids intact.
- Balance Flavours: A squeeze of lime or a touch of sesame oil can add extra layers of flavour.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Option: Replace bone broth with mushroom broth and skip collagen for a plant-based version.
- Protein Boost: Add a poached egg or diced chicken for a heartier bowl.
- Spiced Version: Include a cinnamon stick or star anise for added warmth.
- Green Upgrade: Stir in baby spinach or bok choy for extra nutrients and volume.
- Fermented Additions: Top with kimchi or sauerkraut for a probiotic twist and tangy contrast.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge Storage: Store cooled broth in an airtight glass jar or container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezer Storage: Freeze in labelled containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheating Instructions: Warm gently over low heat. Stir occasionally and do not boil once the coriander has been added.
