Yes it does freeze - you can also dry it.

On a train with a rubbish connection do sorry there's no link - Jamie Oliver's feather steaks. Steaks with sage, ham and salsa. Made it a few times and it was lovely. Used about 5-6 sage leaves per steak

It's really nice added to vases of flowers as greenery and also seems to keep the flies at bay a bit...

Sage tea is lovely - just a normal teabag with a few sage leaves added once the hot water has been poured. Leave for 1-2 mins to brew, but no longer otherwise it will be bitter. Remove sage leaves and tea bag, add 1-2 tsp of sugar...it's delis.

Chop it, then put into ice cube trays and top each cube with olive/rape/veg oil, then its easy to add into things

Heat some olive oil in a small frying pan and fry the leaves a few at a time for a couple of seconds - they go lovely and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper, little sprinkle of salt crystals, nibble with a drink at the end of a hard day - you'll be through the lot in no time!
