Bouquet garni



Bouquet garni

Literally, this is French for bouquet for garnish, and can literally mean just about any group of fresh herbs tied together with string, cloaked in cheesecloth, and tossed into a boiling pot of water to act like a tea bag made of spices. However, bouquet garni tends to follow a pattern. A good pattern is basil, marjoram, rosemary, cloves, thyme, oregano, parsley, etc. Be creative. Just about any fresh herb works well in a bouquet garni.
