I just toss the washed herbs into boiling salted water for a few seconds (it'll wilt) then shock in cold water. I compress and roll in a square of parchment then wrap in cling film. As for basil, parsley, coriander.
Herbs like chives and garlic chives just get rolled and frozen.
Herbs such as sage and oregano I just dry.
