The first secret to a crystal-clear broth is controlling temperature. A violent, rolling boil will emulsify fat and protein, creating that dreaded foggy look. Instead, keep your pot at a gentle, lazy simmer—barely a quiver on the surface.
Imagine you’re coaxing the flavor out, not bludgeoning it. This slow dance allows impurities to float to the top as foam, which you can simply skim away. Think of it as the broth’s little deep-breathing exercise.
