Herbs

Most herbs dry overnight. You will have about one pound of
dry herbs for every eight pounds of fresh herbs. Dried herbs
retain their flavor best if they are crushed just before using.
Home dehydration saves a lot of money. You can dry almost
any herb you can find including dry chives, oregano, basil, dill,
rosemary, thyme, parsley, mint, and peppers.

Herb Teas

Many of your garden herbs can be dried in your Food
Dehydrator and stored in air-tight containers for use
throughout the year to make delicious, healthful herb teas.

Use the leaves and flowers (but not the course stems)
of most herbs like chamomile, mint, strawberry, sage,
blackberry, blueberry and others. It is simple and economical
with the Food Dehydrator. Just steep the dried leaves in a
teapot and strain.
