Prepare the Broth

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the bones and cook for 5-10 minutes to remove impurities.

Discard the water and rinse the bones under cold water.

Return the bones to the pot and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the onion, carrots, garlic, black pepper, salt, and bay leaf.

Simmer the broth for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors are well developed.

Strain and Serve

Remove the bones and vegetables from the pot using a slotted spoon or sieve. Discard the vegetables and bones.

Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the broth.
