Humble Ambitions
I know it's a little early in the season to start on drying my stevia, but one of the branches broke off, so i wanted to make use of the leaves.
I wasn't sure how to go about it, so i just spread the leaves on a dinner plate and put them in the oven on a low heat.
It took a long time to do. Today, they seemed dry enough, and i crushed the leaves. The residue that you get on your fingers is SO sweet! But i'm having a hard time getting it all crushed down so it will be pleasant and usable for sweetening tea and so forth.
This is my first try ever. I would love to hear your tips.
