Update on herb drying

In the off chance anyone cares: I’ve discovered that softer leaves like geranium, mint etc don’t dry well by this method. It’s better to put them in a low oven for a while so they dry faster. Woodier things like rosemary, lavender do fine. Elderflower dries very well this way and elderflower tea is lovely!

I’m going to try and make lip balm, I’ll let you know how it goes.
