Notes
The alternative method is to freeze complete bunches of thyme - and then remove the leaves afterwards.
I prefer using the ice cube tray because it takes up less space, and is also a lot quicker when cooking. All you do is simply add the frozen thyme cubes to your recipes.
It will be about 2 cubes = 1 bunch. Or 1 cube = 1 handful
After the thyme cubes have frozen an easy option is to remove them from the tray and put in a resealable freezer bag. If you are freezing different thyme options (French. Lemon, Orange) do make a clear note on the bag as they might look very similar.
