Dried Lemon Thyme

Lemon Thyme is not only a pretty plant that smells wonderful, it also is an herb that accompanies fish and chicken dishes nicely.

When I harvest this plant, I rinse it lightlu and let it sit in a mini colander for several days to a week to fully dry.

Once it is dry, I label a jar and prepare the leaves. They slide off the stems with ease.  

Gather the leaves and dried flowers and pour through a funnel into the jar.

Cover.  For best flavor, use within a year.
