I dry with a dehumidifier, there, I said it. The girls are cropped into small flowers as soon as they are cut down, placed on drying racks above one or two dehumidifiers.
There's no hanging upside down, no cure, just the dehumidifier (the sort used to dry buildings, not food) and it seems to work well. Everything is ready within a week, there is no heat and no risk of rot due to humidity.
I realise I may be pilloried for this method but there is sound reasoning behind it - I think!
So, I use this method because of the volatile nature of the aromatic hydrocarbons that we all want to keep. I think that they need to be "crystallised" as soon as possible to prevent degrading. The quicker everything can be "locked in", the better. In my opinion, this ensures maximum potency and flavour, which is what we all want. Plus, I can't see the point of drying stick that has no use to me.
If anyone can tell me why this is a terrible idea I would be interested but it even seems to even negate the need for a cure as the water has all been driven off.
Try it, it might be genius.
