# Insider Tips:
01 -
- It takes about ten minutes to put together and lasts for months in your pantry.
- You can sprinkle it on practically anything savory and it instantly tastes better.
02 -
- Dried herbs lose potency over time, so if your mix has been sitting for more than six months it will taste muted and disappointing.
- Citric acid is much stronger than dried lemon zest, so start with half the amount and taste before adding more.
03 -
- Rub the dried herbs between your palms as you add them to release essential oils and wake up flavors that have been sleeping in those jars.
- Write the date on the jar label so you know when it is time to make a fresh batch.
