Here's what I learned about drying spices. (Mine are Savory on the left and Oregano on the right)
Leave them on the counter for a few hours, to get to room temperature and begin the process. According to what I saw, this step is critical.
Mine came to me in a rubber banded bunch, so if yours do too, take off the rubber band and lay them out on a metal cookie sheet, with separation between the different twigs of leaves.
Place tray into a 175 degree oven for an hour. (I think I could have used more time, because some of the leaves had not yet dried out).
Let them cool on the counter and then strip the leaves off the stems. Put them in a glass bottle and save.
