== Aether: Always Foods ==
'''Aether: Always Foods''' is a framework for creating nutrient-dense, daily consumables that provide a broad spectrum of vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and proteins. It is designed for individuals on restricted diets or those seeking to optimize their nutritional intake. The core product is a high-protein gummy supplement developed to help meet daily healthy needs, with a specific formulation focused on testosterone support for males in their 30s.
 
This guide includes recipes for homemade bone broth, rendered tallow, the core protein gummies, and optional cocoa-tallow fat bombs. All recipes are designed to be cost-effective, utilizing accessible ingredients like butcher's bone scraps.
'''Aether: Always Foods''' is a concept for creating nutrient-dense, daily consumables that provide a full spectrum of vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and proteins, particularly for individuals on restricted diets. The core product is a high-protein gummy supplement aimed at meeting minimum healthy needs, with a focus on testosterone support for males in their 30s. This includes recipes for homemade bone broth (from butcher scraps), tallow, protein gummies combining whey and broth, and optional cocoa-tallow fat bombs. Below are the recipes, instructions, nutritional breakdowns, and an ingredient inventory with cost analysis.

! '''Version''' !! '''Date''' !! '''Summary of Changes'''
=== Feasibility and Considerations ===
|-
Creating these foods uses affordable, accessible ingredients like butcher bone scraps (often $5 or less for 2-3 lbs). The gummies provide ~45g protein per 150g serving, blending whey's complete amino acids with broth's collagen. Costs are minimized by homemade elements, with batch costs around $8.77 for ~400g yield. Safety notes: Consult a doctor for supplements; use food-grade items; monitor via bloodwork.

=== Homemade Bone Broth ===
=== Homemade Bone Broth ===
This replaces bone broth powder in the gummies, providing collagen and minerals. Makes ~2-3 quarts (enough for 4-6 gummy batches).
This recipe forms the nutrient-rich liquid base for the gummies, replacing commercial powders. Yields ~2-3 quarts (enough for 4-6 gummy batches before concentration).
 
==== Ingredients ====
==== Ingredients ====
* 2-3 lbs bone scraps (marrow/knuckle bones from butcher; ~$5 or less)
2-3 lbs beef bone scraps (marrow, knuckle, and joint bones are ideal)
* Veggie scraps (onion, carrot, celery—optional for flavor)
Vegetable scraps (onion ends, carrot peels, celery butts—optional for flavor)
* 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (extracts minerals)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (aids mineral extraction)
* Water to cover (~8-10 cups)
Water to cover (approx. 8-10 cups)
* Salt/herbs (optional)
Salt and herbs (optional, to taste after cooking)
 
==== Instructions ====
==== Instructions ====
# '''Prep''': Roast bones at 400°F for 30-45 min (optional for deeper flavor).
'''Roast (Optional)''': For a deeper flavor, roast bones on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 30-45 minutes until browned.
# '''Cook''':
'''Cook''':
#* '''Pressure cooker (faster, ~2 hours)''': Add bones, veggies, vinegar to pot; cover with water. Seal, cook on high pressure 120 min. Natural release.
#* '''Pressure Cooker (Recommended)''': Add all ingredients to the pot and cover with water. Seal and cook on high pressure for 2-3 hours. Allow for a full natural release.
#* '''Crockpot (slower)''': Add to 6-quart pot; cover with water. Low 24-48 hours (add water if needed).
#* '''Crockpot''': Add ingredients and cover with water. Cook on low for 24-48 hours.
# '''Strain''': Cool slightly; strain solids. Refrigerate overnight—gelatin sets, fat rises.
'''Strain''': Allow broth to cool slightly, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove all solids.
# '''Skim fat''': Scrape off solidified fat (save for tallow or fat bombs).
'''Chill & Skim''': Refrigerate the broth overnight. It should set into a firm gel. The fat will rise and solidify into a hard cap on top. Scrape this fat cap off and save it for rendering into tallow.
# '''Store''': Use fresh (fridge 4-5 days) or freeze. For gummies, reduce on stove to concentrate (~half volume) for thicker texture/protein.
'''Store & Concentrate''': The gelatinous broth can be stored in the fridge for 5-7 days or frozen for months. '''For the gummy recipe, you must concentrate the broth.''' Simmer the liquid broth on the stove until it reduces by about half its volume. This deepens the flavor and protein density, ensuring the gummies set properly.
 
=== Homemade Tallow ===
=== Homemade Tallow ===
Rendered from skimmed bone broth fat. Yields ~1/2-1 cup per batch.
Pure, rendered beef fat from your bone broth. A highly stable cooking fat.
 
==== Ingredients ====
* Skimmed fat from bone broth
 
==== Instructions ====
==== Instructions ====
# Render fat in a pan over low heat until liquid.
Take the solidified fat cap skimmed from your chilled bone broth.
# Strain through cheesecloth if needed.
Gently melt it in a saucepan over low heat.
# Cool and store in jars (fridge up to 1 month, freezer longer). Use for cooking or fat bombs.
Strain the liquid fat through cheesecloth into a clean jar to remove any remaining impurities.
 
Store in the fridge (1 month+) or freezer (1 year+).
=== Protein Gummies (Whey + Homemade Broth) ===

==== Instructions ====
==== Instructions ====
# Bloom gelatin in 1/2 cup cold broth for 5 minutes.
'''Bloom Gelatin''': Pour 1/2 cup of cold concentrated broth into a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
# Heat remaining broth + lime juice on low.
'''Heat Liquid''': Gently heat the remaining 1 cup of broth and the lime juice in a saucepan over low heat. Do not boil.
# Dissolve bloomed gelatin.
'''Dissolve Gelatin''': Add the bloomed gelatin mass to the warm liquid. Stir until it is completely dissolved (1-2 minutes).
# Off heat, whisk in powders (whey, MCT, spirulina, chia, ginger, blueberry, zinc, magnesium, ashwagandha). Blend if clumpy.
'''Whisk in Powders''': Remove the pot from the heat. Whisk in all remaining powders. For best results, use an immersion blender to create a smooth, homogenous mixture and eliminate clumps.
# Pour into molds; refrigerate 2 hours. Store refrigerated.
'''Set''': Pour the mixture into silicone molds (small, 3-5g cavities are recommended for easy portioning). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
