You cannot dry cilantro and expect any flavor same for just freezing the leaves. Cilantro is the one herb that completely looses its flavor when dried- you may as well dry parsley- it will taste the same. The only real way to preserve cilantro is to chop the leaves and add just enough water to hold the leaves together and freeze it. You can use ice cube trays or plastic baggies.but the leaves must be covered in water- this is the only way to preserve the flavor ( unless you prefer making pesto with it and using olive oil).I have been growing and using cilantro for thirty years.this method is the one that works
