Notes

Mix dried oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary for a simple homemade blend.
Adjust the ratio based on your taste: more basil for sweetness, more oregano for boldness.
Add garlic powder or red pepper flakes for extra flavor depth.
Store in an airtight container to keep the herbs fresh longer.
Use it in pasta, marinades, soups, or anywhere you'd use traditional Italian seasoning.
