Freezing Herbs

Freezing is a quick and easy way to preserve your herbs.
Wash and cut your herbs and press into ice cube trays adding water or oil just above the top of mixture and freeze.
After frozen remove from trays put into freezer bags getting as much air out as you can.  To ensure all air is out you can use a straw and suck out air as you finish closing bag.
Some of the best herbs to freeze are;  Basil, chives, dill, lemongrass, mint, oregano, sage, tarragon & thyme.
My favorite herbs to freeze are basil and chives which I add to my tomato soups.
