DIY Flavoured Culinary Salts

Score! Another easy DIY Christmas gift...or new item to stock in your own pantry. DIY flavoured salts. Just about every time we make our own potato wedges, we'll sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic and thyme. These premixed salts just mean all your flavours are pre-bottled and ready to go.

Here's what you need:
Salt. I used rock salt, Himalayan rock salt would be even better
Dried herbs. You could start with whatever you've got in the pantry. I used sage, thyme and mixed herbs
Garlic granules
Essential oils (make sure they're certified pure therapeutic grade) If you want to order great quality oils, contact me here https://www.mydoterra.com/rachealcameron/#/ 
If you just don't want to use essential oils at all, try dried citrus zest.
Glass jars. Got empty herb and spice jars? Perfect. Otherwise small glass jars and bottles work nicely.

Some combos to try:
Orange-Sage Salt (for Poultry, pork and potatoes)
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbsp dried sage
5 drops orange essential oil (once again, make sure the bottle says it's safe to ingest!)

Mix ingredients in a bowl and use a funnel to neatly pour into your chosen bottle. Easy, hey?

Lemon-Thyme Salt (for fish, poultry, lamb and potatoes)
1/2 cup salt
iTbsp dried thyme
5 drops lemon essential oil

Ditto...mix your ingredients, and pour into your glass jar

Chilli-Lime Salt (if you like hot food, you could use this on just about anything!)
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbsp chilli flakes (not for the faint hearted!)
5 drops Lime essential oil.

Mix and bottle, as with the other recipes.

Garlic-Herb-Lime Salt (great on potatoes, but also works on any chosen meat)
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbsp dried mixed herbs
1 tsp garlic granules or powdered garlic
5 drops Lime Essential oil

Mix and bottle! And maybe add a pretty label too :-)

To use, just sprinkle on your potatoes or meat before roasting...or on your served meal before eating (ie some lemon-thyme salt over your spaghetti bolognase)
