How to dry fresh herbs

Air-dry fresh herbs by tying bundles together with string and hanging them stem-side up in a warm, dry place away from direct sunlight until crumbly, about five days. If you need to keep them clean from dust, punch air holes in brown paper bags and cover each bundle before hanging. Once dried, store in small plastic bags in a dark place away from the stove. Dried herbs will keep their flavor for up to one year.
