Drying your own herbs

Sick of buying a bunch of herbs only to use two springs then a week later you have to chuck the whole thing out? Now you can buy fresh herbs and keep them! How? Dry your own!

Pick your herb and place them on a paper towel, several bunches at a time.




Zap them in the microwave on high for 15secs. Check then zap again for 15secs. Keep on zapping and checking in 15secs slots until it is dried through. You must make sure every piece is dried or else the non-dried ones will go mouldy and ruin all your work.




Get an old spice jar and store them! Home made dried herbs is tastier and smells fresher than the store bought variety.
