One effective way to preserve herbs is through drying, which can be done using several methods such as air drying, using a dehydrator, or an oven. Air drying is ideal for herbs with low moisture content, like thyme and oregano. To do this, simply tie the herbs in small bundles and hang them upside down in a warm, dry place with good air circulation. This method can take several days but retains the herb's flavor well.<|im_end|>
