Herbs/Flowers/Potpourri

Properly clean all herbs and flowers prior to drying.

HERBS AND SPICES

Almost any herb can be used for drying. These can be dried right on the stalk or stem. Remove the stems and leaves once these are dried. Labeling the herbs or spices prior to drying will help make identification much easier once dried.

Place in plastic bags in the whole form, then store in a cool, dry place. Crush or rub leaves when ready to use. This helps to keep the flavor intact.

Make sure herbs are totally dry. Any hint of moisture will spoil the herbs. Be especially careful when drying basil.

FLOWERS

Select flowers that are unblemished and fresh. Cut so that the stem or stalk can be arranged on the tray without bending. If it is bent, it will remain bent once dried.

POTPOURRI

Flowers or herbs offer a wide variety or choices for potpourri. Choose your favorites and experiment with mixing your own potpourris. Keep records so that you can duplicate the scent the next time. Place flower heads on trays, without overlapping. Dry, then mix together to form the potpourri. Your whole house will smell great as the flowers are drying. Scented oils can be added to your pot- pourri to help rejuvenate the scent.
