Bouquet Garni

This is a traditional French seasoning combination used in soups and stews. It will make enough for 10-12 bags.

  • 1/4 cup dried parsley
  • 4 bay leaves, dried and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons dried marjoram
  • 2 tablespoons dried lovage leaves
  • Cheesecloth or muslin

Mix herbs together. Place one tablespoon of mixed herbs in the center of a 4"x 4" square of muslin or fine cheesecloth, doubled. Gather all four corners of the square and tie with kitchen string, leaving a long tail to tie to the pot handle. Store in an airtight container.
