Herbal Ice Cubes
RECIPE BY: - Carla -
Freezing is a simple and excellent way to preserve fresh culinary herbs. Packing in ice cube trays makes it easy to always have fresh herbs on hand, adding fresh herb flavor to soups, sauces, and drinks. Some people prefer to freeze in a good quality olive oil, I prefer the boiling water method, which is listed in this recipe here today. You can freeze herbs individually or in combinations of other herbs.

Thank you! I have basil for the first time in my small garden. I was worried about what to do with all of it. This works great!

PERFECT "recipe" and gorgeous pictures, Carla! I too grow fresh herbs and can't use them in a timely manner, so freezing is the best option. This is great for making sauces such as pesto, taking out just what you need. Thank you!

I was convinced when I saw the pictures, that this recipe works! The herbs are bright green abd look good. I cant thank you enough for posting this recipe because you have saved me a lot of time money and frustration. I always end up wasting a lot of unused herbs. But now I cant wait to go to the supermarket to buy my favorite herbs and preserve. A BIG THANK YOU.
