Tired of spending money on fresh leafy herbs just for them to go bad in a few days?
No need to waste your hard earned money any longer!
It's easy too! Here is how:
Take a mason jar or recycled spaghetti sauce jar (any jar with a lid)
and fill it 2/3 full of water. Take all your mint leaves and place them in the water filled jar.
Then continue filling the jar the rest of the way full with water.
Screw your lid on and put in your refrigerator. Viola!
This will make your fresh leafy herbs stay fresh for 3-4 longer than expected!
Try this with many other leafy herbs to prolong their life.
