How to store herbs in ice cubes

Step 1

Select the healthiest and freshest shoots of your chosen herb and cut the leaves away from the stems. Wash the leaves, then chop them up into small pieces using a sharp knife or a pair of kitchen scissors.

Step 2

Pour fresh water evenly into an ice cube tray, filling each square to approximately a quarter full.

Step 3

Fill each of the cubes with the herbs, ensuring that as much leaf as possible is covered by water.

Step 4

When all the herbs have been added, top up the tray with water and place it in the freezer, keeping it level.

Step 5

Remove the frozen cubes from the tray and store them in clearly labelled bags in the freezer until needed.
