- Harvest your herbs for drying just before they begin to flower. Remember to remove any damaged or bruised leaves.
- Tie a rubber band around the stems of the herbs. Any flowers on the herbs should face downward.
- After bundling, tie a paper bag around the bundle. Hang the whole bag off of a coat hanger somewhere dry. The bag will catch any seeds that dry if you want to collect them.
- Leave to dry. Herbs should dry away from direct sunlight and moisture or they will spoil. Drying times will take anywhere from 5 days to a few weeks, depending on the types of herbs you’re drying.
- Remove when dried. The herbs are dried when they just become crisp and no moisture can be felt.
