tips: 

How to store
If the broth will be used within a day or two, store in a sealed bottle and refrigerate it.
For longer term storage, pour the broth into a freeze safe container or bag and freeze it. It should last a few months. The best way to thaw it is to put it in the refrigerator overnight. You can defrost in the microwave a bit then boil again in a pot or leave the container in hot water for a while. However, leaving it out all day in room temperature is not a good idea since it can be spoiled.
