  I chop my basil in my food processor with olive oil and put it in ice cube tray. After they are frozen I wrap each one in Saran wrap and freeze in a ziplock bag. Absolutely hands down the best way to do basil.

  So glad I came across this video! I have a ton of herbs growing in my garden this year and was starting to worry what to do with all of them! I love all your ideas. They are all so real, practical, and accessible. Real people with real solutions. Thank you for sharing and keep those creative ideas coming!

  Hands down, sun dry your basil! So much more flavor than dehydrator even on lowest setting. I've dried herbs for years, last year my dehydrated was full so I put basil out on towels and covered with a tiny netting tent, like you cover food at a barbeque...😄 And WOW, so much more flavor!!!

  nice tips! thank you! i do have one tip to get the bags "vacuum": when you nearly close the bag, dunk it in water with just the last inch of the bag dry, then close it up.

  I dried my herbs last year.  This year I've put them into my freezer.  Love your cigar way and using the straw for doing that.  Also, the one putting them into bags for drying in your car.  Great tips - Thanks!

  The car idea is genius.  I live in the desert southwest.  In the summer I should have dried herbs in about an hour.  lol

  I cut the branches and  hang them in a dark reasonably warm place. Once the branches are pretty dry, I cut some of the big branches off and put the herbs in paper bags for a few days. Then I put the herbs into jars and open the jar each day until the herbs go firm again and close, and do this for at least two weeks, until curing is done.
