Dried Herbs and Greens
Homemade seasonings made from dill, parsley, mint, basil, thyme, and versatile herb blends.
Dried herbs are one of the most rewarding homemade pantry staples: they need little space, dry quickly, and stay useful in the kitchen every day. They help capture seasonal aroma in a practical everyday format.
The biggest risk here is overheating the herbs and losing their aroma, which makes the finished product dull, brittle, and barely useful in everyday cooking.
