  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices when making your bouillon cubes. Some popular choices include parsley, thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Store your bouillon cubes in an airtight container: Once you have made your bouillon cubes, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. They will keep for up to 6 months.
