We like to use an* ice cube tray to freeze the bone broth in so that when we need it we’ll have it available quickly and only in the serving size we need. This is also a great idea for those of your who live alone or just want a quick pick me up during cold and flu season.
*When the broth is frozen then you can remove them from the ice cube tray and store in a zipper seal bag. Each compartment in an ice cube tray holds about 2 ounces.
