Notes
Storage: Keep in a small airtight jar in a cool, dark cupboard—not above the stove. Aim to use it within 6 months for the best flavor. Starting with older spices? Mixing them together won’t refresh them, so use the blend sooner.
Before using: Give the jar a shake to redistribute the herbs and finer powders before measuring.
Herb texture: For a finer blend, crush the dried oregano and thyme in a mortar and pestle before mixing. This helps the herbs combine more evenly with the powdered spices.
