How do you store fresh thyme?
- Poke some holes and in a paper bag and place it over the bunch of thyme. Hang the bunch in a location with dry, moving air. The bag will catch any leaves that fall off and will keep your thyme from getting dusty. After about 10 days, your thyme should be dry and ready for storage.
How long does thyme last?
- It should still remain usable for several weeks. To keep thyme tasting fresh for even longer, roll it in a damp paper towel and place it in a resealable plastic bag. A third option for long term storage is to stand your thyme sprigs up like a bouquet of flowers in a drinking glass or jar with about an inch of water inside.
