The original "hug in a mug"—deeply savory, subtly complex, and endlessly customizable. Start with a steaming pour of Reclamation bone broth, grass-fed beef or pasture-raised pork, season it just right with sea salt, then add toppings to fit your mood: scallions for freshness, garlic and ginger for a little medicinal kick, or a sprinkle of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) if you're chasing heat. It's a warming ritual that's as simple as it is satisfying, whether you're cozying up solo or pouring mugs for friends.
