This formulation keeps the herbal backbone prominent while adding enough dried lavender to create a recognizable but restrained brightness that works best on lighter proteins and roasted garden vegetables. What is the best way to store this blend to maintain freshness? Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dark pantry away from direct sunlight or active stove heat. Stored properly, the dried leaves and flower buds retain their essential oils and distinct flavor profile for several months.
