Notes

Use fresh herbs: Dried herbs are best when fresh and have vibrant color and aroma. Check the expiration dates before using them, or dry your own.
Adjust the blend: Feel free to tweak the ratios to suit your taste. Add red pepper flakes if you love heat, sage for a slightly sweet, grassy taste or extra garlic for a bold kick.
Mix small batches: Homemade spice blends stay fresh longer when made in small quantities. This way, you can always have a fragrant mix on hand.
