Can you give me some easy directions about drying herbs?

Answer 1

Gently wash herbs and pat dry with paper towels.

Tie two to three stalks together.

Hang upside down in an airy, dry spot.

Herbs will dry in one to two weeks under favorable conditions.

When herbs are dry and crumbly, remove leaves from stems. Crush leaves with a rolling pin or leave whole.

Pack in an airtight container or zip-top bag with air removed.

Use within 6 months.

Tips:

Pick best leaves just before herbs bloom.

Harvest in early morning as soon as dew has evaporated.

Herbs only hold their potency for about 6 months.

Answer 2

Dry in bunches upside down, and store in your hot water cupboard.

Dehydraters are good too !

Answer 3

I left some fresh herbs in the fridge door for a few weeks (accidentally) and they dried perfectly! SO now I just do that and then put them into jars once dried :-)
