  3. Whisk all ingredients together until evenly blended, breaking up any clumps of dried herbs.

  4. Transfer the seasoning to an airtight jar or container, pressing out excess air.

  5. Store in a cool, dark pantry for up to 6 months, shaking or stirring before each use to redistribute settled spices.
