Am just getting into Thai cooking and so went off to an Asian
supermarket that is 15kms from office (60 from home) to get ingredients.
Cam back with basil, mint, lime leaves and lemongrass and had reasonable
success with first attempts at cooking. But my Q is, how best to keep
the herbs . It's too late for the Basil, that is already black, mint is
going same way and lime leaves are starting to curl.

It won't be a problem once summer (eventually) arrives as basil, mint
and hopefully lemongrass all flourish in garden but how can you keep
shop bought herbs ?

Freeze them inside Ice Cubes, then bag them.

Either that or dry them, but that's just not the same....
