Red Raspberry Plants
Glass Jar with Airtight Lid
Instructions
Harvest red raspberry leaves and give them a rinse in the sink with a strainer to remove dust and insects. No need to pat dry, any excess water will evaporate in the dehydrator.
Place leaves on the dehydrator trays until all trays are full or you run out of leaves. I recommend filling all the trays with leaves so you get the most out of each round of dehydrating.
Place the full trays into the dehydrator.
Dehydrate at 35C (95F) for 4-6 hours depending on the leaves. Dehydrate until leaves come out dry and crumbly.
Store dried leaves in an airtight glass jar and keep out of direct sunlight for up to a year to retain potency.
Notes
Refer to text to learn how to dry leaves without a dehydrator.
