Or does patting them dry remove the salt? Just wondering.

I haven't tried drying flowers in the oven before, but there's only so much you can balance on trays in the airing cupboard!<br /><br />Funnily enough, my grandmother just told me about soaking in salted water to remove insects only yesterday - something else I must try.Sam Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985355742757891578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468068124430970585.post-33205870906265301402011-07-11T04:15:33.361+01:002011-07-11T04:15:33.361+01:00mmm I can smell it now...mmm I can smell it now...Riverton Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413452009725686183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468068124430970585.post-74933618400057355292011-07-10T13:13:03.068+01:002011-07-10T13:13:03.068+01:00Thank you for your comments.

The answer to your question Captain S, is yes - you should be able to dry lime flowers in exactly the same way and a tea made with around 3grams of dried flowers is useful to ease headaches, particularly those caused by high blood pressure, and the early symptoms of flu and colds. Good luck!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407340515200525388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468068124430970585.post-92130370525283851912011-07-10T13:02:01.814+01:002011-07-10T13:02:01.814+01:00Nice interesting post.
