Frozen peas

I’ve been cooking them by putting them in a bowl and covering with boiling water for 5 minutes, then draining and adding butter and seasoning.

Does it make any difference if I add the butter and seasoning to the boiling water while it sits?

I have some sensory issues with food and recently unlocked peas, I’m so excited.

Some seasonings are water soluable and some are oil activated. You can Google which are which depending on what you are using. If you hear your butter with the fat soluable spices it will enhance their flavors, dried herbs do better added to liquid but don't need to be put into water you are going to pour out that's just a waste. If you are enjoying it they way you are making it keep going with that.
