If you want to dry the leaves more quickly, you can go ahead and remove the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems along with any leaves that are bruised or broken. Rinse them gently in water, then set them on paper towels and gently pat them dry. Basil leaves dry beautifully in either an oven set to very low heat or a food dehydrator.  If you're using the oven, set it to the lowest temperature - 200 °F (93 °C) or lower.  If you're using a food dehydrator, ready it for operation according to the manufacturer's instructions. Either spread them on a baking tray or the food dehydrator tray. Make sure none of the leaves overlap. They should be arranged in one thin, even layer. The leaves should be dried over the course of 24-48 hours until they are no longer moist; they should crumble easily when pinched between your fingers.  If you're using the oven, place the tray of leaves inside the preheated oven and let them bake for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the leaves inside overnight. In the morning, they should be sufficiently dry.  If you're using the food dehydrator, place the tray of leaves inside and operate the food dehydrator for 24-48 hours. You can store them whole in plastic food storage bags or bins, or crush them and store them in spice bottles.
