Fresh Herbs: Bunch together parsley, bay leaf, thyme, leek, white portion only (optional), and cloves.

To make removal easier, you may place them inside several overlapping celery ribs or leak greens and bind tightly with kitchen string.
Step 4
Dried Herbs: If you cannot get fresh herbs, wrap dried herbs, coarsely crumbled but not powdered, in 4-inch squares of cheesecloth tied into pouches. Store in tightly covered container up to 1 month.
