Using sharp shears, cut off a leaf from a Pelargonium just above a growth point. Then, remove the leaves from the stem.
Next, place leaves on a drying rack so that they don’t overlap.
Leave in a cool, dry, dark space for about a week. You can also use a dehydrator, set to about 100 degrees. This method takes one day.
Dried leaves are no longer green and should feel brittle.
Store dried leaves in glass jars for use in the kitchen. Or to make a sachet, place them in a muslin bag and crush.
Try mixing different geranium scents or other herbs to create varied aromas. The sachet above is made from rose and lavender Pelargonium.
