To Make Homemade Cilantro Seasoning
you will need:
Fresh Cilantro
A Dehydrator
A Mortar and Pestle or a Blender
An Air Tight Container
1. Fresh Cilantro.
Either buy fresh cilantro at your local farmers market or grocery. Or you can grow your own at home. We have done both. We have cilantro in our herb garden but we have not grown a large enough patch yet to use only homegrown.

2. Wash and Dry Cilantro.
It is always best to wash off all fresh veg just to be sure you do not have any unwanted guests or “stuff” on your veg. Pat dry to avoid crushing the tender herbs.

3. Dehydrate Cilantro.
We have a nice little dehydrator that we use for all of our drying needs. This can be done in the oven on a very low heat for a very long time.

4. Crush or grind Cilantro into powder.
A mortal and pestle work well with an herb as delicate as cilantro. A blender will also serve you well here if you do not want to grind by hand.
