Storage TIPS
-
- Refrigerate or Freeze Promptly: Once cooled, transfer the broth to the refrigerator if you plan to use it within 4-5 days, or freeze it for longer storage.

- Use Airtight Containers: Store the broth in airtight containers to preserve freshness and prevent any absorption of flavors from the refrigerator or freezer.
