  1. Harvest or buy fresh herbs with long, sturdy stems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Trim stems to\u00a0roughly 6\u20138 inches and remove any damaged leaves.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Bundle several stems together, layering for fullness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Wrap tightly with undyed cotton string in a crisscross pattern from one end to the other, then back again, tying off securely.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Hang the bundle somewhere dry and well-ventilated for 1\u20132 weeks until fully dried out before burning.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n
      • A few sprigs of rosemary for clarity<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Optional: a strip of dried orange peel for brightness<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Calming Evening Bundle<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Lavender \u2014 main body of the bundle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            • A few sprigs of mint for freshness<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              • Optional: a few dried chamomile flowers tucked between layers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Grounding Bundle<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Cedar tips \u2014 main body of the bundle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                    \n
                  • A few sprigs of rosemary<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                      \n
                    • Optional: a small pinch of dried thyme<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      Focus & Clarity Bundle<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • Rosemary \u2014 main body of the bundle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                          \n
                        • A few sprigs of mint<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          • Optional: a few dried bay leaves tucked between layers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            Tips for Better Bundles<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                            Use\u00a0undyed\u00a0string.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Synthetic or dyed string can release fumes you\u00a0don’t\u00a0want to inhale.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                            Dry thoroughly.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Underdried\u00a0bundles smolder unevenly and are more likely to go out \u2014 or smoke far more than expected.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                            Keep bundles modest in size.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Thin bundles about an inch in diameter burn more evenly than thick ones.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
