Yield: 1 jar (approx. 120 g)
Cook time: 0 min
Prep time: 15 min (+ optionally 1 day drying)

Ingredients

• 100 g Himalayan salt
• 10 g dried lovage leaves
• 1 teaspoon celery seeds
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 bay leaf
• Pepper to taste

Preparation

• Allow fresh lovage to air dry completely or use a dehydrator (max. 40 °C).
• Crumble the bay leaf and roughly chop large pieces of lovage before grinding.

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or mortar and pestle.
2. Grind to a coarse or medium-fine salt, depending on desired use. Omit salt for a coarse blend.
3. If needed, allow to dry further on baking paper to prevent clumping.
4. Store in a well-sealed jar, away from light.
