Herbs tend to be expensive, and you usually have to buy more than you need for one dish. Make the most of your hard-earned cash by keeping your herbs fresh as long as possible.
Wash herbs in cool water. Remove dead stems and leaves. Snip ends.
Gently pat dry.
Place stems in container filled with water but avoid submerging the leaves.
Cover with a plastic bag or plastic wrap.
Refrigerate. Change water if it becomes murky.
