Favorite DIY Posts- Day 4: Freezing Herbs Into Ice Cubes
Do you grow your own herbs?

Whenever I need them in my favorite dish, I simply pop out an ice cube from the freezer.

What a simple but lovely idea. Its so convenient and chef-friendly.
I like to freeze mine in those little tiny containers you get with take out for your salad dressing or barbecue sauce… perfect size… has a nice little tight-fitting lid you can write “chives” or “oregano” or whatever is inside.
