Drying Time
Whip out your frying pan.
Heat at max temperature.
Add salt at one time once the pan is hot.
Now shake the pan around until the salt is dry.
This process is really fast so keep an eye on it.
Almost Done
Once everything has cooled down.
Take the salt out of the pan and place back into the pestle and mortar , grind up until fine once more. Remove the salt and store in a water tight container. Enjoy with all sorts of foods and snacks. You can also add a small amount of thyme or even rosemary and substitute plain salt with himalayan salt as I did in this instructable. Hope you like it and please do leave a comment.
