How to Dry Herbs

Drying herbs is an easy procedure. First pick herbs in the morning hours. Rinse and pat dry. Herbs can be bundled and hung upside down in a warm, dry area of the house. Let hang for several weeks until dry and crisp.

Another method of drying (which I prefer) is to place dry herbs in a brown paper bag like those from grocery stores. fold over the top and secure with a paperclip. Date bag and herb enclosed. Daily shake bag. After two weeks, herb is dried and ready to store.

Store dried herbs in ziplock bags or jars. Label and date.
