Freezing is the best way not to alter the taste of your food .
I keep my fresh herbs in my freezer to make my life easier.
Basil, mint, coriander, chives, tarragon, dill, thyme, sage, flat-leaf parsley, Italian parsley, oregano, rosemary or even fennel tops...
My aromatic herbs all have a place in my freezer.
The best way is to wash them and dry them then arrange them in Tupperware .
When you want to cook them, all you have to do is chop what you will need for your recipe.
It's very practical for using fine herbs in winter!
So you can make yourself a good herbal tea with sage and enjoy its benefits.

It is a very good option for keeping fresh garden herbs in the winter.
Chop them first and keep them frozen in ice cubes in the freezer.
It takes about 1 tablespoon water for 1 teaspoon chopped herbs.
You will get beautiful frozen cubes with herbs that you can use directly in soups or sauces.
You can also use them to make delicious cocktails.
The use of coriander in exotic dishes, especially Asian, is very common.
However, it should be noted that the texture and the color some leaves may be affected by freezing.
This is the case with fresh basil, which becomes a little softer and darker. Its leaf tends to turn black, but its taste remains intact .
Note that you can also put oil in the ice cube tray instead of water. Check out the trick here.
You now know how to store fresh aromatic plants.
