To convert ABV to proof, you simply multiply the ABV by two. For example, a liquor with 40% ABV would be 80 proof (40 x 2 = 80). The term “proof” originally referred to the amount of alcohol in a beverage that was high enough to ignite gunpowder, with 100 proof being the minimum necessary for the gunpowder to ignite. Today, proof is simply an indication of a beverage’s alcohol content.

The best way to store cilantro from your garden is to keep it in a container with a lid or plastic bag in the refrigerator. Before storing, gently wash and dry the cilantro. If the stems are still attached, place them in a jar or glass of water and cover the leaves with a plastic bag before storing in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to one week. Alternatively, you can freeze cilantro by chopping it up and placing it in an ice cube tray with water or oil before freezing, so you can use it later.
