Dry your own herbs

• You can use the microwave to dry basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, chives or parsley. 
•  Take the leaves off the stalks and discard any damaged leaves. 
• Wash and pat dry the leaves with kitchen paper (not recycled kitchen paper as there may be metal traces). 
•  Place one type of herb on a sheet of kitchen paper on a microwave-safe-plate and cover with another sheet. 
•  Microwave for 30 seconds, full power. 
• Check and repeat again until the herbs are dry - they should crumble easily. 
• Small leaves dry quickly, so take care not to burn them. 
•  Store in an airtight container for up to a year
