For a richer flavor, add other vegetable scraps like carrot peels, celery ends, and garlic cloves to the stockpot. Be sure to skim the surface of the broth periodically during simmering to remove any impurities and ensure a clear final product. The apple cider vinegar helps to extract minerals from the bones, but can be substituted with lemon juice if desired.
