HOW TO DRY MINT LEAVES FOR COOKING AND FOR TEA - WITHOUT DEHYDRATOR - DRYING HERBS AT HOME

To dry mint leaves at home, you do NOT need an oven, or dehydrator, or microwave. All you need is air and I will show you how. I dry mint leaves for both cooking and tea. Many Bulgarian recipes call for dry mint, so I always need a good amount on hand. Drying herbs at home will save you a lot of money because there is no such a thing as cheap dried herbs at the store. Even the farmer's markets are expensive and that's why I started growing my own mint. The best way to dry mint for storage and later use is to clip the young ones, and either place them on a try in the kitchen or tie them in a bunch and hang them. In either case, it shouldn't take more than a week for your mint to dry completely even in humid climates. Keep in mind that if you are in a windy area, hanging the mint outside could damage the leaves ones it starts getting too dry. #mintleaves #gardening #mint Hey!
