2. Oven Drying
This faster method is ideal for those living in humid conditions. Spread the herbs on a lined baking sheet and dry them in the oven at 150°F (65°C) until the leaves become crumbly. This process may take 1 to 4 hours, so check periodically to avoid burning.
3. Freezing
Freezing works best for herbs like cilantro, basil, tarragon, and parsley. There are two methods for freezing herbs:
Chopping Method: Chop the herbs and place them in an ice cube tray. Fill the tray with broth or water and freeze.
Blending Method: Blend the herbs into a rough paste with a little water or oil. Freeze this mixture in an ice cube tray or an airtight container.
By using these methods, you can enjoy the flavor and health benefits of your favorite herbs all year round!
