Hello Dear Friends,
I love to dry the extra greens on hand. Especially every time I go to the market, I buy fresh mint so that I can add it to the salad or add it to the water. It always increases, so I put it aside and forget. When we have such a honey grinder (my daughter) at home and spending time together in the kitchen is good for all of us, we immediately crumbled the dried mints 😄💕
You can wash the mints and hang them in bunches and let them dry after 2-3 hours of draining. I don't bother separating the leaves one by one, I just crumble the bunch in my hand. Peppermint, which dries on its own without any intervention, becomes greener and smells more delicious.
If you have mints that you have crushed by hand, you can take them from a spice grinder, if not, you can sieve them and get them into the spice rack.
Keep in mind, sometimes if I come across leaves that do not dry completely because their stems are attached, I open the vineyard and dry it in the microwave for about 1 minute.
Do not throw away the remaining stems, I am writing on the advice of one of my followers on Instagram. Those stems are very nice when making mint lemon tea :)
Love…
