How to Freeze Cilantro
Use one of these two cilantro freezing methods so that you can have the flavorful herb on hand at all times.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- water or olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse off cilantro and dry completely.
- If you’d like to freeze cilantro as-is, separate leaves from stems. Place in a freezer bag and squeeze out all the air. Seal the bag and freeze.
- If you’d like to freeze in ice cubes, blend or chop cilantro. Add water or oil to form a thick puree. I use a 3:1 ratio of cilantro to liquid. Place in an ice cube tray and freeze. Once ice cubes are completely frozen, remove from the tray and store in a freezer bag.
