Step 1
Rinse thyme gently, removing any dirt or slimy leaves. Pat dry with a towel.
Step 2
Gather the thyme together into a bundle. Cut a length of kitchen twine and tie a knot around one end of the thyme. Tie a loop around the other end and hang in a cool, dry place.
Step 3
It will take between 3 days and 2 weeks for the thyme to fully dry.
Step 4
Turn your oven as low as it can go. (For my oven this is 170°F.)
Step 5
Spread the thyme in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and leave the door ajar.
Step 6
Check the thyme every 15-20 minutes for dryness, pinching a leaf or two between your fingers to see if it crumbles. The thyme should be fully dry within 1 hour.
Step 7
When thyme is dry, strip the leaves and place in a glass jar. Label and store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year. Once the thyme loses its aroma, it's time for a new batch.
