    Can I dry the candied mint in the refrigerator? I can't leave anything out on my counters for 24 hours.
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can. I placed my leaves in the fridge for less than an hour, and soon they were hardened and dried, and had a lovely crunch to them. Just remember that if you leave them in the fridge for a while, they will be cold.

    Leaves picked earlier in the day are just fine. You just don't want them to have started to wilt, dry out, or go brown.
