Lemon Basil Tea

The harvest is going nuts! To dry lemon basil leaves for tea, heat your oven to 200 degrees for 20 minutes, then turn the oven off. Place the lemon basil leaves in a single layer (if the leaves are touching, they don't dry) and leave the leaves in the oven overnight. Each leaf dries into a crinkly little thing. Put those crinkly leaves into your teapot for concentrated fresh lemon flavor!
