Do you want to get the most value out of your homegrown perennial herbs? Dry them at home to enjoy maximum flavor all year long!
This method of hang-drying herbs works best for woody perennials like:
- lavender
- oregano
- rosemary
- thyme
- sage
First, trim stems from the main plant. Tie 3-5 stems together into a bundle, then hang them to dry in a cool and dark place for 2-3 weeks.
Once the herbs are dry and brittle, you can store them long-term and use them to add some homegrown magic to your favorite recipes!
