Servings: 7 Tablespoons
Calories: 7kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 Tablespoons dried basil
- 1 Tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 Tablespoon dried rosemary
- ½ Tablespoon dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
Instructions
- Add all of the dried herbs into a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Place in an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.
Notes
- Store your seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place up to 2 years. Technically, dried herbs don't spoil, but they do loose their potency over time. You can gauge this by giving them a good sniff. If the smell is very faint, it's probably time for new herbs.
- One very easy thing to do when you are short on herbs and spices is to make a blend of equal parts oregano and basil! These herbs are the two most predominant flavors in most Italian seasoning blends, so if it's all you have available, it will work great.
- One of the great things about making homemade herb & spice blends is that you can adjust to your taste preference: Want more rosemary flavor? Add a pinch more! Want less marjoram? No problem!
