Notes

  • Freeze: To freeze that freshness, fill a tray like this until the cubes are solid, before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag until you're ready to use, for up to 6 months.
  • Freeze
  • Use: To use defrost by either thawing in the fridge before using to loosen, or you could add a cube straight to your hot dish and let it melt right in, like pasta or even as added flavor to your favorite soup!
