Good question that has hundreds of answers! I tend to use the air dry method for all of my herbs. I've found that to be the least stressful (for me) and most successful. I've been drying herbs for about 15 years now and after a couple of attempts with the oven and a few with a dehydrator, I finally settled on the air dry method. The only exception for me is when I dry very small seeds. Then, I use the screen drying method just because I can spread them out better. Of course, if you want to do some experimentation, you can use a couple of different methods for your rosemary (for example) and see which one you are more comfortable with and which one works best for that herb. And I'd like to know the results. I will be providing a post soon about the freezing of herbs - an alternate to drying some types of herbs. Thanks for the comment.
