Being the kind of guy I am, (bit of a nerd, career in the computer business,etc) I found it difficult to make this the same way twice.
So it strikes me that I should try making this the way I make a number of other things, by WEIGHT. I found a website, (http://skipthepie.org/spices-and-herbs/) that has metric weights for an awful lot of (guess what) spices and herbs.
I went thru the entire list of the S&G blend and her's what I came up with for a single batch.
(g=gram)
2 g crushed parsley
4 g crushed sage (I used rubbed sage)
6 g crushed rosemary (I used cracked rosemary)
3 g crushed thyme
3 g crushed oregano
2 g crushed basil
2 g crushed bay leaf
7 g ground black pepper
13 g sugar
I will admit that I rounded up the fractional weights, For example, 1 tbs parsley = 1.6g rounded up to 2g. You can check out the website above for more details.
Using spices by weight means you can use any form (ground, whole, or cracked) of the spice/herb. The recipe is easily scalable.
You will need a metric capable scale to measure the ingredients.
Hope you like this.
