New Use For Old Herbs

Herbs should be replaced after one year. They lose their flavor and potency for healing and culinary use after this time. When you have extra left over, simmer them, a handful at a time, in a pot of water that contains slices of citrus. Just the skins contain the volitale oils, so save them from your morning fruit. Your home will smell fresh, and your it won't matter the age of the herbs.
