# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes ten minutes to make and saves you from ever throwing away wilted herbs again.
- You can turn plain Greek yogurt into something that tastes like a Mediterranean summer in about fifteen seconds.
02 -
- Moisture is the enemy here, so make sure your bowl, jar, and measuring tools are completely bone dry before you start.
- The flavor deepens after a day of resting in the jar, so try to resist using it immediately if you can manage the willpower.
03 -
- Write the date on the jar with a piece of tape so you know when the flavor starts to fade and it is time for a fresh batch.
- Toast the dried herbs in a dry skillet for thirty seconds before mixing to wake up volatile oils and intensify the flavor dramatically.
