Method

1. Cut the stems just before flowering and rinse them briefly.
2. Hang them upside down in small bunches or spread the leaves on a rack somewhere warm and airy, out of the sun.
3. After a week, strip the bone-dry leaves from the stems.
4. Grind them to a fine green powder in a coffee grinder or mortar.
