Ingredients
- Fresh mint leaves
- Clean dry jar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 80°C / 176°F
- Pick the mint stalks (I cut just below the last leaf) and place in a colander.
- Give the colander a good shake to remove any beasties and bugs, and then give the stalks a wash under cold running water.
- Gently dry the leaves using a tea towel and remove any discoloured leaves.
- Spread the stalks out on a baking tray and bake in the oven for around 1.5 hours - keeping an eye on them to ensure the leaves don't burn. You can tell the leaves are fully dried out when they become very crisp and brittle.
- When they are sufficiently dry, remove the dish from the oven and then gently remove the leaves from the stalks, placing the leaves in a clean, dry airtight jar. You can then compost the stalks.
