Harvest leaves from the first-year rosettes and lay on screens or paper toweling to dry. That's it.

Thank you so much. I will be able to have some dried before her next visit. And with it that easy maybe I can get caught up on some of the other requests I have pending. How does one learn to say "NO!!"?

I agree with Fata. Since Mullein is a biennial, the strength of the plant all goes into seed stalk making the second year, and is poor for herb tea. As you know, the first year it lies pretty flat on the ground and looks somewhat like a large plantain. It will come back the second year and make seeds anyway, even if you harvest most of the first-year leaves. Rick
