You know, sometimes there can be a simple solution for a difficult problem if you go beyond your stereotypes. A simple colander can turn into a tool that helps you remove leaves from a variety of herbs: for example, basil, mint, thyme, rosemary. Insert the stem into the colander hole and quickly pull it down. All the leaves will remain in the colander, and the stalk that you don’t need is in your hand.
