Notes
Hints & Tips
To make parsley, mint or oregano dust:
- Spread the herbs across a baking tray and place another tray over the top, leaving a slight gap.
- Place the trays into a hot oven at 180–200 degrees Celsius until the herbs are completely dried out.
- When the herbs have cooled, gently rub the leaves - they should fall easily off the stalks.
- Place the leaves into a coffee bean grinder and grind until they are dust. Clean the grinder afterwards to avoid getting a herbal flavour in your morning coffee.
- Sieve the herb dust into a storage jar, and use at your convenience.
