How Long Should I Simmer My Broth?
The length of time you should simmer your broth depends on the type of ingredients you are using. For beef and pork bones, simmer for at least 4-6 hours, while chicken and fish bones require a shorter time of 2-3 hours. Vegetables, herbs, and spices should be added during the last 30-45 minutes of cooking to retain their flavor and nutrients. Generally, the longer you simmer your broth, the richer and more flavorful it will become. So, it is recommended to simmer your broth for about 6-8 hours for a full-bodied flavor.
