Drying the Mullein Harvest - Wildcrafting Mullein for Lung Health

I drink mullein infusion regularly to help build my lungs' strength and health as well as nourish my body with minerals.

I want to share how I dry the mullein. Earlier this summer we harvested quite a bit of mullein. This batch of mullein is near the front of my brain because it is almost completely dry and nearly ready to process.

I harvest the whole stalk of mullein as it is flowering or beginning to flower and cut it at the base. Then I hang it upside down to dry. This is so much more convenient and time saving than harvesting individual leaves, plus I can chop up the stalk if I wish to include in my infusions.

This much mullein will last for quite a while in my larder :)
