Number Of Ingredients 5

bunch(es) fresh herbs (such as sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, parsley, tarragon, mint etc...)
- cold water for washing herbs
sheet(s) paper towels
- twist ties, rubber bands or tape to close ends of packets
- marker or ink pen

Steps:

  • Lay clean kitchen towel(s) or a layer of paper towels on work surface.
  • Thoroughly wash herbs under cold running water; place clean herbs on towels.
  • Inspect herbs and remove, and discard, any leaves or spots that appear brown or blemished.
  • Pat herbs dry with paper towels; leave on towels to continue to air-dry for up to 1 hr.
  • Tear off several sections of new paper towels; place on work surface.
  • Remove leaves from stems; discard or repurpose stems.
  • For ROSEMARY: Strip the needles from the stem by holding top end of stem with one hand; with fingers of other hand, grasp the stem directly under the top and pull toward the cut end of the stem. Discard stem.
  • NOTE: You may mince herbs or leave whole, your choice.
  • Place herb leaves on a section/sheet of paper towel; roll towel up, around the leaves, like a cigarette.
  • Secure ends using a twist tie, rubber band or tape.
  • Write name of herb and the date on the bundle.
  • Place bundles on highest shelf in refrigerator for approximately 2 weeks.
  • After 2 weeks, open bundle to inspect for dryness.
  • If not thoroughly dried; re-tie ends and return to refrigerator for a few more days. If dry, empty herbs into plastic zipper bags or spice jars, label and date.
  • Store away from light.
