Harvest rosemary sprigs in the morning after the dew has dried
Rinse the sprigs gently if needed
Pat the sprigs completely dry
Remove damaged or discolored leaves
Tie small bundles of rosemary stems together
Hang the bundles upside down in a warm, dry, dark, well-ventilated area
Leave space between bundles for airflow
Check the rosemary every few days
Dry for 1 to 2 weeks until the leaves are brittle
Strip the dried leaves from the stems
Store the dried rosemary in an airtight container
Keep the container in a cool, dark place
Use a dehydrator at low temperature for faster drying
Use an oven on the lowest setting with the door slightly open if needed
