Special guest, Sips With Sav, will be here on Sunday, Sept. 15th from 11 am – 12 pm to teach a class on how to turn home grown herbs into mocktails and cocktails!

We have talked about canning vegetables in order to preserve your summer harvest for the winter. For this post, we’re going to focus on how to dry herbs so that they can be used in soups and stews or even to make balms or infusions. In general, the best time to harvest herbs is right before they flower. After flowering, the flavor of the herbs changes slightly to be a little bit bitter.
