Notes

It is best not to add salt to this seasoning as the dish that you use this in may already have enough salt and you don’t want it to be too salty.
If you are using herbs and spices with lumps or larger pieces in them, you could pop this mix into a food processor or spice grinder to grind it down until it reaches your desired consistency.
Make sure to use a clean, dry spoon when using the blend.
