I love making my own spice mixes, because I can choose exactly the ingredients I want.

This is a great spice mix for anything Mediterranean. I will give you a list of possible cooking ideas later in the recipe.

It is easy/peasy to put together and contains wonderful flavor.

So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

    What will you need?
    I like to give the ingredients a quick spin in a spice grinder. However, if you crush up the rosemary, you probably do not need to do anything but mix up all the dry spices and place them in a good jar.

    How to store it?
    If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher.

    In addition, I love using Weck jars. They are glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent tight-fitting lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, type in “Weck Jars” and you will find a ton of them. They last forever, unless you break them, and they are very reasonable, price wise.

    Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet).

    If properly stored, this spice should last 12 – 14 months.
