I love drying my own herbs. Here we have rosemary, oregano, and sweet basil. I planted my oregano and basil plants last Spring. My rosemary was planted back in Spring 1997. The herb dryer is inexpensive,(from Amazon), and was installed by my husband. My jars are re-used Trader Joe's herb jars,(baby food jars also work well for herbs). These are great in gift baskets. My next batch, (hanging up on my herb dryer right now), is fresh mint; brought over from my mother's garden in Brentwood, CA. I love to use my rosemary for tea, in addition to cooking. It can be brewed alone or with green tea for a caffeine and/or antioxidant boost. The herb has anti-inflammatory properties which I find helpful for my chronic migraine, oh, and it tastes good too.
