- What’s the best way to store leftover herbs

Sure! Here are six different ways to store leftover herbs:

**Freezing in Ice Cube Trays**: Chop your herbs, mix them with a bit of olive oil or water, and pour them into ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop them out and store them in a ziplock bag. Perfect for adding to soups or sauces later!

**Paper Towel Method**: Wrap your fresh herbs in a slightly damp paper towel and place them in a ziplock bag. This keeps them fresh for a longer time in the fridge. Just make sure not to seal it completely to allow some air circulation!

**Herb Infused Oil**: Blend your herbs with some olive oil and strain it into a bottle. You can use this infused oil for cooking or as a salad dressing. It’s a tasty way to keep those flavors alive!

**Drying**: If you have a lot of herbs, consider drying them. You can hang them upside down in a cool, dark place or use a dehydrator. Once dried, store them in airtight containers. They’ll last for ages!

**Water Jar Method**: Place the stems of your herbs in a jar of water, like a bouquet, and cover the leaves with a plastic bag. This works great for herbs like basil and cilantro, and you can keep them on your countertop!
