WHAT YOU’LL NEED

2 tbsp. Dried Oregano

1 tsp. Dried Ground Sage
¼ tsp. Crushed Dried Bay Leaves
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
½ tsp. Onion Granules

As for the kitchen tools, all you’ll need is a small mixing bowl, a spoon, a funnel (if you want to make it easy transferring the spice mix to its container), and of course, the California Home Goods Clear Glass Spice Jars.

HOW TO DO IT

Measure each ingredient carefully.
Put all of the ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon.
Once you see all the ingredients completely mixed, transfer them to the spice jars. You may use a small spoon to do the trick, but if you have a funnel, you may use it to save time in transferring.

Just a few tips:

Aside from storing (and using) this Italian Herb Spice Mix with our Square Glass Spice Jars, it is important to note that you cannot freeze the spice mix just so they will last longer. The flavors of some herbs and spices may change if they get frozen. To store your spice jars properly, if a dark place isn’t really possible, keep them in a place away from direct heat and sunlight.
