Equipment

  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon garlic granules
  • ½ teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
  • cup powdered buttermilk
  • 1 to 1½ teaspoons dried chive tips
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mustard seed
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon onion flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • teaspoons dried dill weed
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest powder

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Having everything readily available makes the process smoother. Lay it all out on your kitchen counter so you can quickly grab each item as you go.

Step 2: Measure the Ingredients

  • Carefully measure out each ingredient using measuring spoons and cups. Precision is key here to ensure the perfect balance in flavor.
  • If you have a trusty kitchen scale, you might even weigh the powdered buttermilk if you want a more accurate measurement.

Step 3: Combine in a Bowl

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the garlic granules, dried tarragon leaves, powdered buttermilk, dried chive tips, fine sea salt, dried parsley, ground mustard seed, granulated sugar, onion flakes, black pepper, smoked paprika, dried dill weed, and lemon zest powder.

Step 4: Mix Thoroughly

  • With a whisk or fork, mix the ingredients well. The goal here is to ensure that all the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
  • A thorough mix guarantees that each time you use the seasoning, you’ll get the same delicious flavor.

Step 5: Store

  • Once mixed, transfer the seasoning into an airtight container or jar.
  • Store it in a cool, dark place, like your spice cabinet. It will remain fresh for several months, but trust me—once you taste it, you’ll want to use it often!

Notes

  • Adjust to Taste: Don’t be afraid to tweak the ingredient ratios based on your preference.
  • Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use the freshest dried herbs you can find.
  • No Powdered Buttermilk?: You can swap it with regular buttermilk if you plan to use it immediately in a wet recipe.
  • Experiment: Try adding cayenne pepper for some heat or extra dill for a more pronounced flavor.
  • Batch Size: Feel free to double or triple the recipe to make a larger batch for future use!
