Drying Basil

I've not dried my basil harvest in the past, as I have almost always processed them into pesto and frozen "cubes" or "sheets" of the delicious stuff. But a friend mentioned drying...so this is a wee experiment. I have a few stems drying in the same room as the mint, flat on sheets - and another few hanging upside down in the cool dark closet.
I have to say, the mint that is drying "ala pillowslips" seems to be coming along nicely! Here's to hoping the same can be said for the basil!
