Drying flower petals for brewing Anonymous 2017-06-14 12:24:23 Post No. 1193154 [Report]

Does anyone here have experience making their own dried flowers and/or fruit for brewing?

I have some peony plants that are blooming - since they only do so for a short while each year I want to save the petals in a way that will retain the maximum amount of fragrance and flavour so I can use them for tea/wine.

Any help appreciated. I also ask because there are wild roses in the area and I plan on doing the same with their petals.

sprayed hair spray on budding rose for conservation, it worked
but you can just sun dry them after some washing
or dry in an oven

Dry in dehydrator at low heat, then vacuum seal in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, keeps pretty much anything fresh for a looong time.
