How to Store Herbs
Keeping fresh herbs from wilting can be tricky, yet this is the best way I've found to store them once I've cut them until ready to cook or blend with.

Equipment

Ingredients
1
bunch
fresh herbs with stems
1
mason jar
10
inches
twine
(or small rubber bands)
Instructions
Cut the stems of the herbs at least ½"
Remove any leaves that are low on the stem (should look like a bouquet)
Wrap stems with a string or rubber band
Place in mason jars with just enough water to submerge the stems (yet not get the leaves wet)
Store in the fridge to last the longest.
Clip off the leaves when ready to use.
Notes
Change the water every 2 days to keep it fresh.
You can store on the countertop yet they won't last as long.
To save space, you can always ditch the jars and wrap stems with a wet paper towel and store in fridge.
