Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp Whole Celery Seed: Adds a subtle sweetness and crunch.
  • 4 Tbsp Dried Basil: Provides a familiar earthy flavor.
  • ½ Tbsp Thyme: Brings a subtle aromatic quality.
  • 2 Tbsp Grated Lemon Rind dried: The star of the mix! It infuses a bright zest.
  • 3 Tbsp Dried Parsley: Offers freshness and color.
  • 1 Tbsp Finely Ground Black Pepper : Adds a touch of heat.
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder : Delivers depth and warmth.
  • 3 Tbsp Dried Oregano : Complements the other flavors beautifully.
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Onion Flakes : Adds another layer of taste.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Head to your kitchen and collect all the ingredients. Having everything out on the counter makes the process smooth and enjoyable.

Step 2: Measure the Dried Herbs

  • Using measuring spoons, carefully measure each of the dried herbs into separate bowls. This helps you avoid any mix-ups.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

  • Take a mixing bowl and start adding the herbs one by one. Be sure to include the grated lemon rind; this is what will set your seasoning apart!

Step 4: Mix Thoroughly

  • Using a whisk or a spoon, combine all the ingredients thoroughly. You want to ensure that no single herb dominates the mix.

Step 5: Store the Mix

  • Find an airtight container—glass jars work wonderfully for this. Transfer your Lemon Herb Seasoning Mix into the container, sealing it tight.

Step 6: Label and Date

  • Don’t forget to label the jar with the name and date. It helps you keep track of freshness, making it easy to pull it out whenever you’re ready to cook!

Notes

  • Star Quality Ingredients: Always use high-quality dried herbs. You’ll notice the difference in flavor.
  • Use Whole Spices: If possible, coarsely grind herbs like basil or oregano just before mixing. Freshly ground spices pack a stronger punch.
  • Experiment: Feel free to tweak the ratios based on your taste. Perhaps you prefer more garlic? Go ahead and add more!
  • Avoid Moisture: Ensure your mixing tools and storage container are completely dry. This prevents the mix from clumping.
  • Try Fresh Ingredients: If you can find fresh herbs, consider using them! Just dry them out completely before mixing, as moisture can spoil your blend.
