Herbal Salt
During the pandemic, I saw a blog post that was fun and easy, so I thought I would share! I found the end product was something that we use on (almost) a daily basis. I want to share with you the process of making herbal salts! We use all sorts of rubs, and herbal salts when we cook, and this has been one of our staples. Most recipes for herbal salts call for you to dry the herb and then mix it with the salt of your choice. This recipe only takes 5 minutes to make, then the dry time depends on your humidity. So easy!

Ingredients
Ingredients
2 cups good-quality salt
1 cup sage leaves
1/2 cup rosemary leaves
1/2 cup thyme leaves
Zest of 2 lemons
2 cloves garlic
1 red chili or 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Add all of the ingredients into a food processor
Blend until completely combined, take the lid off and scrape the salt and herbs around as needed
Spread the salt mixture on a tray and let it dry at room temperature for three days (or utilize a food dehydrator to speed up the process)
Store in a glass jar. Depending on the humidity of your home, sometimes it takes me a week to dry the herbs. I let mine set on the kitchen counter until it is ready and stir daily.
