drying flower petals and herbs for cooking, decorats and potpourri etc.
Take Care, when drying herbs etc, because the moisture is extracted so quickly. It is like operating an empty oven, which can damage the oven, so place a small cup of water in the middle of the oven tray to avoid any damage.
Drying Herbs e.g. Bay, Basil, Mint etc
|
Remove 12 - 15 leaves from the stalks and place leaves on a piece of kitchen paper in a circle, Microwave 1½-2 minutes approximately, shaking occasionally until the leaves feel dry.
|
|
Leave the leaves for 2 hours before placing in a jar or using for decorations. Because of the speed of drying the herbs retail their true colours effectively.

DO NOT FORGET TO PLACE A SMALL CUP OF WATER IN MICROWAVE. |
