Take your meals from bland to brilliant with a sprinkle of flavoured salt.
Flavoured salts are quite expensive to buy at the store. Some shops would charge you an arm and a leg for a small jar of gourmet sea salts with mix-ins like fresh herbs, spices, and fruit peels. But great news that flavoured salts are extremely easy to make at home.
Homemade specialty salts make a perfect edible gift for any occasion. They are excellent addition to almost any dish or cocktail. So why not try and make it yourself?
