Slowly freezing causes big ice crystals to grow that break the cell walls and thereby reduce everything to a mush, which in case of herbs also means the aromas won't stay contained. I suppose freezing with oil can help with this, but a better solution would be flash freezing. Those herb cubes are made with that technique. If you can get your hands on some liquid nitrogen, that would do the trick very well. | |
