🧺 Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons dried thyme

- 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds (optional)
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Measure all the dried herbs and place them into a small bowl.

Use a mortar and pestle or your clean fingertips to lightly crush the herbs so they release more of their natural oils.

Stir the herbs together until they are evenly combined.

Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar with a tight lid for storage.
- 5
Use about one teaspoon of the blend for every pound of meat or vegetables you are cooking.
💡 Tips
Store your herb blend in a cool, dark cupboard to keep the flavors fresh for up to six months. If you want to use it as a marinade, mix a tablespoon of the herbs with a quarter cup of good olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
