Imagine opening your cabinet and being greeted by a row of jars, each one neat, labeled, and filled with the colors of your favorite seasonings.
These jars make the mundane act of cooking feel more intentional, more curated, like a little apothecary of taste waiting to be explored.
Materials Needed
- 10-15 yogurt jars (5 oz size works well for spices)
- Set of labels or a label maker
- Fine-tip marker (if hand-labeling)
- Small funnel or spoon
- Optional: shelf riser or spice rack
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Clean and dry your jars thoroughly. Make sure no moisture remains inside to keep spices fresh.
Step 2: Sort your spices and decide how many jars you’ll need. You can dedicate one jar per herb or create blends.
Step 3: Using a funnel, carefully transfer your spices into the jars. Then tap the jar gently on the counter to settle contents.
Step 4: Label each jar with the spice name. Use a label maker for a sleek look or handwritten tags for charm.
Step 5: Arrange your jars in a drawer, cabinet, or on a spice rack. Keep frequently used spices within reach.
Step 6: Step back and admire, your pantry now looks like a mini chef’s kitchen.
Tips:
If you want a modern apothecary feel, use black labels with white text. For a farmhouse touch, tie twine around each jar.
