Keep Herbs Fresh Easily by Freezing them.
Freezing is the best way to avoid spoiling the taste of your food.
I keep my fresh herbs in my freezer to make my life easier.
Basil, mint, coriander, chives, tarragon, parsley or even rosemary, my aromatic herbs all have a place in my freezer.
Freeze the herbs whole
The best way is to wash and of them to dry then to arrange them in tupperwares.
When you want them to cook, you will only have to chop what you will need for your recipe.
Freeze the herbs in ice cubes
Chop them beforehand and store them frozen in ice cubes in the freezer. It takes about 1 tbsp water for 1 teaspoon of chopped herbs.
You will get beautiful ice cubes with herbs that you can use directly in soups or sauces. You can also use them to make delicious cocktails.
However, it should be noted that the texture and color of some leaves may be affected by freezing, like basil which becomes a little softer and darker, but its taste remains intact.
