Hey Rosebud....I have 2 pretty good herb gardens and dry all of my herbs. I don't use a dehydrator or the oven...I just air dry them. I have a great recipe for Rosemay & lavender soap that I will dig up and send you. It makes really good Christmas gifts. That is what I do for all of my family at Christmas is give them dried herbs or things made with my herbs and things out of the garden.
Rosemary is my FAVORITE herb...can't live without it. You can let it dry and then remove the "needles" off of the stem....then I put them in my processor and process tham down to a powder. Dried herbs are stronger in flavor so you don't need to use as much and will make your house smell divine! Throw some rosemary in any of your chicken & fish dishes...YUM YUM!!! I also put a lot of rosemary and basil in my pot roast.
For my basil, thyme,& oregeno, it works better for me to remove the leaves first and then let them dry.
I will dig up that soap recipe and get back to you. Hope this helps some.
