Instructions

Start by gathering all your dried herbs and spices for the mix. Make sure each ingredient is fresh and aromatic, as this will make your blend more flavorful. If any of your herbs are clumpy, use your fingers to break them apart gently for an even consistency.
Take a clean mason jar or any airtight container and add each ingredient one at a time. Layering the herbs makes it easier to check that everything is measured correctly. Use a spoon to ensure all the spices are added neatly without spilling.
Once all the herbs and spices are in the jar, get a pair of chopsticks. Mix the herbs thoroughly to combine the ingredients evenly, creating a uniform blend. If any herbs are sticking together, give the jar a few extra shakes until everything is well combined.

Notes

Use the freshest dried herbs you can find—this will give you maximum flavor in your Italian seasoning.
Shake the jar before each use to keep the blend evenly mixed.
Adjust the spice ratios to your taste and what you have in your pantry. For example, add more garlic powder if you prefer a garlicky flavor, or more chili flakes for extra heat. You could also try sage or parsley.
