How to dry plants for herbal teas?

Although the leaves of these medicinal plants can be eaten fresh, as the season progresses, turn them into a winter treasure, so you'll have some on hand even out of season!

Pick in the morning, before the hottest hours, when the plants have evacuated the night's moisture, but have not evaporated their essential oils:

• harvest whole stems with leaves and flowers, at flowering time, either all at once or as you go along;
• place them on a sieve or make small bunches;
• place in a well-ventilated room, away from direct light;
• once dry, store in individual airtight jars.
