Sperb is the name of a new line of liquid herbs and liquid spices, packed in dropper-top bottles, easy to handle and exquisite to taste. It takes ten to fifteen drops or one-fourth teaspoon to flavor a dish in quantity to serve four. If a delicate flavoring is desired, start with five drops, then taste and add more as desired. These seasoners impart flavor quickly and needn't be cooked into the food but can be added to soups, sauces, and vegetables before serving or even at the table.
Here is concentrated flavor and aroma, all without bulk. The spices in the liquid line are anise, celery, cinnamon, allspice, clove, and nutmeg—these for cakes, cookies, biscuits, puddings, custards, and sauces. The herbs which have been liquefied are marjoram, mint, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, and garlic.
