Question
What process can I use to preserve and dry eucalyptus?

Answer

The dried eucalyptus that you see in stores is usually preserved with a glycerin method. For a stiffer structure, try air drying instead. Just hang the eucalyptus in a well-ventilated area, and it should dry out in a few weeks.
