how do you dry rosemary?
Answers:
The rosemary herb creates an invigorating and penetrating oil, with a fresh, herbaceous, sweet, slightly medicinal fragrance. It is used to promote mental stimulation and relieve muscular fatigue, and is beneficial in hair care preparations. It also may be used in the treatment of arthritis, dull skin, exhaustion, gout, muscle cramping, neuralgia, poor circulation, and rheumatism.
However if you have an abundance and would like to store it dry, gather it in small bunches and hang it in a dry location out of the sun. Or dry it on screens in a ventilated area. When dry, strip from the leaves and store in bottles or sealed plastic bags. You can also freeze the leaves in small freezer bags.

I set mine on screens in a warm dry place. I check them daily to see how they are doing and to make sure that bugs aren't getting to them.

Use a food dehydrator - it's easy and quick. Lay sprigs flat on trays - turn on and let it go. It takes a day or two PLUS smells good while drying. Pete
