Prepare the Bones
In a large pot, place the beef bones and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. This will help to remove impurities. Drain and rinse the bones.

Simmer the Broth
Return the cleaned bones to the pot, add 4 liters of fresh water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the onion (peeled and halved), ginger (sliced), star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, fish sauce, salt, and sugar. Simmer uncovered for 3-4 hours.
