Keeping herbs fresh

There are different ways to preserve herbs for later use. You can store them in the deep-freezer. Put chives or pasley into a small plastic container and quick-freeze it. Whenever you need something just take as much as you need and return the rest into the freezer again. When the herbs are defrosted they need to be used quickly. Another method is to dry the herbs. Drying is especially good for herbs you use as tea like mint and lemon balm.
