Question:
Dear Rabbi,
I keep about six hours between milk and meat.
If I only have liquid chicken broth, does that still require six hours before milk?
Would it ever allow a shorter span?
Answer:
Hello,
- If the techicken broth is from real chicken (not from a pareve instant soup mix) then we do wait six hours, even though it isn’t actual meat.
- There are different customs, however, the general custom is to wait six hours, with the exception of a person that is ill, or a nursing woman, who need to drink milk earlier. Then they can be lenient and drink milk after one hour.
Best wishes
