    Herbed Salt

    List of Ingredients






    Place flavoring ingredients in the bowl of a coffee grinder used specifically for spices. Add ¼ cup of salt and grind until fine. Pour into a bowl and grind 3/4 cup more salt. Add that to the bowl and stir to blend. For a very fine salt, grind kosher salt. For a coarser blend, grind coarse sea salt but for a shorter time.

    This will keep for six months in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Makes 1 cup.

    Recipe



    If you plan to give herbed salt as a gift, place fresh herb leaves against the inside of the jar.
