Drying Flowers, 35°C
Using your Food Dehydrator, you are able to
dry your own flowers, blossoms and petals.
Hints
• As flowers darken when they dry, try to
select flowers which are several shades
lighter.
Preparation Directions
1. Cut flowers when they are dry and cool.
2. Choose flowers that are firm but only half
open. Full bloom flowers tend to lose their
petals.
3. Position flowers and petals sparsely on the
drying shelves.
4. Dry for 8-10 hours at 35˚C until flowers are
brittle.
5. Place in a large air-tight glass container
with 3-4 drops of perfumed oil, to enliven
the fragrance. After a month, shake
the petals or sprinkle more oil into the
container.
Potpourri
To make potpourri: use handful of flowers,
blossoms and petals and combine with
3-4 drops of perfumed oil e.g. tea rose or
lavender.
