Notes

- Store the blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
- For best flavor, use within 6 months.
- Lightly crushing the herbs before mixing releases more aroma and flavor.
- Feel free to adjust any herb to suit your taste.
- If your herbs look dull or don't have much smell, it’s time to replace them.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
- Use about one teaspoon of seasoning per serving, then adjust as needed.
- Great on pasta, chicken, veggies, soups, and pizza.
