Equipment

4 oz mason jar

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Add everything to a small bowl and mix well.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 years in a cool dry place.

Notes

Storage

Dried herbs and spices should always be stored in a cool dry place to ensure that the potency and freshness will last the longest.

Substitutions

Garlic: Optional but it's definitely a big part of Italian cooking and we think it adds a good depth of flavor.

Oregano: Can use all oregano or swap out some for some dried marjoram which is very similar but has some sweeter notes.

Can I use fresh herbs?

You can of course make a fresh herb blend, but it will not store the same as using dried herbs. The conversion for using fresh to dried is 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for every teaspoon of dried herbs, since dried is much more potent than fresh.
