If you have leftover herbs that you can’t consume all at once, there is a way to preserve them. Chop up the herbs and place them in an ice tray. Pour water into each compartment and put it in the freezer. After one night, remove each herb cube and store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. This preserved herbs will still maintain their flavor and aroma.
