Ingredients

1 Cup Fine Sea Salt or Pink Salt

10-12 Sprigs of Fresh-Cut Thyme

Tools Needed

Food Processor, or if you do not have a food processor, a mortar and pestle will work too.

Steps for Making Thyme Herb-Infused Salt

Pour the salt and thyme sprigs into the food processor. Then, place the lid on the food processor and blend for 2-3 minutes. Check to see if all of the pieces of the thyme have been broken down. If large pieces still remain, continue to blend until the herbs have broken down.

Once the salt and the herbs have been blended, pour the herb salt onto a sheet of parchment paper, and spread the salt out. Try to avoid large clumps of salt. Allow the salt and her mixture to dry for 24 hours. Once it’s dry, pour your salt into a spice container or other airtight container for storage.

If you do not have a food processor, use a mortar and pestle, but first allow the fresh thyme to dry overnight, or until it dry to the touch. Then, remove the leaves from the stalks and add them to the bowl of the mortar, and pestle and grind until the thyme becomes a fine powder. Mix the thyme powder and the salt until they are combined. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy your thyme herb-infused salt. It is also a great homemade holiday gift for family and friends!

Enjoy!
