Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash herbs.
  2. Pat dry.
  3. Leave out overnight to dry completely (You can dry the herbs on any flat surface, but one with ventilation will work best.   A cooling rack would be a good option.  I used the trays from my Excalibur Dehydrator.  See, you can even use your dehydrator to freeze herbs!
  4. Parsley
  5. Basil
  6. Place in plastic bags and take out as much air as possible. (You can even stick a straw in the bag to suck the air out if you like. I have not done that yet, however, but I want to!

Notes

  • I use small plastic bags from Country Life Natural Foods and they are great. I get the 4x2x8 size. They come in various sizes and in serious bulk so you can store away for cheap! These on Amazon appear to be the same. A MUST, however, for this, in my mind, is Twixit Clips. These clips from IKEA are another great option. I use these for EVERYTHING in my home. Trust me, you will be so thrilled to be done with those pesky twist ties.
