Herb Ice Cubes Recipe

"This is a very quick and easy way to store your herbs for using at a later date. I have given a way to freeze with oil and also water. After they have frozen ~ pack the cubes into marked zip lock bags to store in the freezer. Just pop one or 2 out to use in your cooking as you need, or thaw and drain for salads or pasta's if needed. I find using a larger silicone ice cub tray is easier for removal, and a pair of herb scissors make light work in chopping the herbs. Note ~ Any herbs can be prepared this way. Store the frozen herbs in the freezer for up to 6 months"
