Ingredients
- rosemary fresh *see Notes for drying durations
- thyme fresh
- Tarragon Fresh
- Oregano Fresh
- Savory Herb Fresh
- sage fresh
Instructions
- Rinse your herbs to get rid of impurities.
- Shake off excess water, pat completely dry, carefully without damaging the fresh herbs, between two clean kitchen towels.
- Place leaves on a dehydrator rack. Spread them out over the racks. Keep one herb variety per rack because some need longer than others to dry.
- Stack each rack over each other. Turn on the heat and set to a medium heat setting, 135 – 145 Fahrenheit/ 57- 62 Celsius.
- Every herb takes its own time to dry completely. See in the notes for the approximate duration.
- When dehydrated, take from racks and wait 5 minutes to reach room temperature. Crumble herb and store in an airtight container until further use.

Notes
- These are just a few herbs that I dried in the dehydrator. You can, of course, dry other herbs too. I chose those herbs because I had them growing in our garden and because it's a good variety of herbs. See in the post for a list of culinary herbs.
- Duration for each herb in the ingredient list dried (with recommended temperature in the recipe):
- rosemary 1 hour
- thyme 2-3 hours
- tarragon ~3 hours
- oregano 2-3 hours
- savory 3-4 hours
- sage 1 ½ hours
