Drying Flowers

Using your Food Dehydrator, you are able to dry your own flowers, blossoms and petals.

Hints

•As flowers darken when they dry, try to select flowers which are several shades lighter.

Preparation Directions

1.Cut flowers when they are dry and cool.

2.Choose flowers that are firm but only half open. Full bloom flowers tend to lose their petals.

3.Position flowers and petals sparsely on the drying racks and base.

4.Dry for 8-10 hours until flowers are brittle.

Potpourri

To make potpourri: use handful of flowers, blossoms and petals and combine with 3- 4 drops of perfumed oil e.g. tea rose or lavender.

Preparation Directions

1.Arrange flowers, blossoms and petals sparsely on the Drying Racks and Base.

2.Dry for 6-8 hours.

3.Place in a large air-tight glass container with 3-4 drops of perfumed oil, to enliven the fragrance. After a month, shake

the petals or sprinkle more oil into the container.
