Rinse the flowers gently under cold water to remove any dirt or bugs. Choose healthy, vibrant blooms.

Dehydrate the flowers whole using one of the following methods:

Oven method: Bake at 120°F / 50°C for 4-7 hours, checking frequently - every oven is a little different

Dehydrator method: Dehydrate at 150°F / 60°C for 5-6 hours

Once fully dehydrated, remove and allow to cool completely.

Once cool, gently pick off the petals and discard the stems.

Transfer to a sealed jar and store in the pantry for up to 3 months.
