Herbal Ice Cubes

Posted by becr zone 9 CA 19 on Sat, Feb 2, 08 at 17:04

Make these herbal ice cubes in the summertime, when the bounty is plentiful and fresh!!! So convenient and easy-- just pop a frozen cube (or two) into your favorite soup or sauce or whatever, and voila! May use olive oil in place of the water.

Recipe is from another web site.

Herbal Ice Cubes
herbs, of choice (basil, chives, cilantro, fennel, lovage, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme, et)
boiling water

1. Mince herb (s) of choice.
2. Pack minced herb (s) into an ice cube tray, each 3/4 full.
3. Fill with boiling water, (this will blanch the herbs before freezing and will help them retain their flavor and color).
4. Once the herbal ice cubes are frozen, you can pop them out of their tray and into freezer bags for storage.
5. Use as needed.
