Hi,
You just have to slice the roots thinly, and dry them in a dehydrator or a warm oven. Cool and store in an airtight glass jar.
Cheers,
Dee. |

I grate mine, then put them in a very thin layer on a Craftpaper covered cookie sheet and dry it in the sun.
I like the smaller bit to use in making scent pots. |
