Today, we're going to make a spice and it's an amazing spice from Israel. And I know you're going to love it. This is called za'atar. And so I'm excited to share this with you because it's going to be a recipe that we're going to use in many recipes to come.

Now you can go ahead and buy the spice already pre mixed, ready to go. And it's called za'atar. Yet this is actually a plant the za'atar is a plant, it's a biblical plant.

And today, we get to make our own blend using different spices. Now this would have been used the hyssop plant we read about this several times in Scripture. So in Leviticus 14 one through six it talks about cleansing the lepers and numbers it talks about purifying yourself if you had been in touch with a dead person, that's numbers 19. And then Exodus which I just shared with you is about sprinkling the blood on the doorposts.

But what I want to share with you is when you travel Israel, you're going to see the spice in a lot of different dishes yet you can make your own blend in your own kitchen and just enjoy the aroma of the spice and enjoy on some savory yogurt on a pita bread.

So what we're going to do to make it ourselves, I went out into the garden and I cut some fresh thyme. And so what I would do is dehydrate this I could either put it in a brown bag and let it stay in a dry area for about two to three weeks it would dehydrate on its own so you don't have to buy a dehydrator or you can use your own dehydrator.
