Lay them on a gauze or cloth surface, not in sunlight, have a movement of air over them preferably in a wooden frame enclosed with gauze try not to let them touch each other, if you use any form of heat you may remove the essential oils. hang a part of the plant upsidedown, when harvesting, (NEVER more than 1/2 of wat u c) leave out of direct sunlight. in a few days they should be dry.

Fresh Bay leaves are very much more aromatic than the dried form. Snap a fresh bay leaf and it gives off a delightful perfume whereas the dried form hardly smells at all. The dried leaf does however come back to life a little when used in cooking.

Depends on your climate and the method of drying. I use a drying rack, place the individual leaves on the screening and have them in my still room. It takes about a week.

Bay leaves grow on a tree and can be used in cooking - they are safe to eat = Answer = Bay Leaves come from the sweet bay or laurel tree, known botanically as Laurus nobilis.
