When is the best time to pick mint leaves? What should I do?

Picked in summer, dried and preserved.

Specifically, it is about 10 am or 3 pm on a sunny day. Note that the latest harvest time should not be later than summer, otherwise the yield will be affected. After harvesting, put it in a ventilated place and dry it in the shade. After drying, tie it into small bundles, cut off the leafless stalks and put it in a dry place.

Immediately after picking mint, spread it out and dry it in the shade, or directly expose it to the sun without drying it in the shade. Turn it every 2 ~ 3 hours, and tie it into small bundles after 2 days in the sun. When tying a knot, all the leaves of each bundle of plants are aligned. Avoid rain and night dew, and move indoors day and night to prevent deterioration. Sun-dried 70-80%, tied into small bundles and hung in the shade.

Mint can also be kept in the refrigerator:

1. Pick fresh mint after rain or in the evening. After washing with clear water, take it out and put it in a sealed box and put it in the refrigerator.

Don't put too many mints in the sealed box, leave some space between the mints inside. During the whole preservation process, the mint inside should be taken out and washed with cold water in about 2 days, then put back in the sealed box and put in the refrigerator for further preservation.
