Try drying herbs on racks, slats or upside
down by their stems.
For best drying, place your herbs in a well
ventilated, dry, cool environment. Ensure that you have
plenty of air space and turn every few days.
Another alternative to drying is using the
microwave by laying the herbs out on absorbent paper cooking
on low for 3 minutes.
A dehydrator is also another option.
The best time to pick the leaves or flower
buds is when they start to unfurl.
Try to harvest your herbs shortly after the
morning sun as the herbs are most potent then. Seeds must be
collected when they turn brown and brittle.
Never pick herbs in wet or humid conditions. |
