Citric Acid Free Herbes de Provence
Making your own spice blend at home is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. Store-bought seasoning mixes can be surprisingly tricky territory, since some brands add anti-caking agents or flavor enhancers that sneak citric acid into the mix — something you'd never expect in a simple herb blend. This homemade version keeps things completely clean, using nothing but pure dried herbs: thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, oregano, and fragrant lavender flowers, with optional fennel seeds for a subtle anise warmth. The result is a deeply aromatic, classically Provençal blend that smells like the south of France and tastes incredible rubbed onto roasted chicken, stirred into olive oil, or scattered over roasted vegetables. Stirring it together takes about two minutes, and once it's sealed in a jar it stays fresh and potent for up to six months. Having a reliable, safe blend on hand means you can season confidently without second-guessing every label at the grocery store.
