Boost flavor with herbs today.
- Flavor your water. Add mint, lemongrass, or scented geranium leaves.

- Rub on flavor. Press an herb rub on meat, poultry, or fish before cooking. Try this combo: chopped parsley, garlic, pepper, salt, and mustard.

- Add herbs near the end of cooking. Then their flavors won’t cook out.
