#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare Your Herbs**: Start by washing your herbs and removing the leaves from the stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Moisture can cause ice crystals to form, which could affect the flavor of your oil. If the herbs have large stems, it’s best to remove them.
2. **Chop the Herbs**: Depending on the size of the herbs, chop them into smaller pieces. You want to ensure they’re small enough to fit into your ice cube tray, but you don’t need to be super precise here.
3. **Fill the Ice Cube Tray**: Add the chopped herbs into each compartment of the ice cube tray. Be generous with the herbs, as you’ll want enough to infuse the oil with their flavor.
4. **Pour the Olive Oil**: Slowly pour the olive oil over the herbs in the tray, making sure the herbs are fully submerged. Fill each cube compartment, leaving just a small amount of space at the top.
5. **Freeze**: Place the ice cube tray in the freezer and allow the oil to freeze completely—this should take a few hours. Once frozen, you can pop the cubes out and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
6. **Use as Needed**: Whenever you need fresh herb flavor in a dish, simply grab a cube of frozen herb oil and add it to your cooking. It’s like having an herb garden at your fingertips!

### Tips and Variations
– **Experiment with Oil Types**: While olive oil is the most common choice for this hack, you can use other oils like avocado oil, grapeseed oil, or coconut oil depending on your recipe preferences.
– **Add Garlic or Lemon**: For extra flavor, try adding a clove of garlic or a few slices of lemon zest to the oil before freezing. These additions will bring an even more complex flavor profile to your dishes.
– **Customize the Herb Combinations**: Mix and match herbs to suit your cooking needs. For instance, a rosemary and thyme oil is perfect for roasting meats, while basil and oregano are ideal for Italian dishes.
– **Use for Roasting**: These herb-infused oil cubes are perfect for roasting vegetables. Simply pop a cube or two into a roasting pan before adding your vegetables for an instant flavor boost.
– **Perfect for Sauces**: If you’re making pasta sauces or soups, a frozen herb cube is the perfect base to kickstart your dish. The oil melts easily and helps release the flavors of the herbs into the sauce.
