Thanks!  I just found exactly what you said in an online article.  It says
that the oven should be no more than 180F for 3 to 4 hours.  I think I'm
going to go with the microwave method, though.  It says "place the clean
stems or leaves on a paper plate or towel and set the control on high for 1
to 3 minutes; turn the stems over or mix the leaves every 30 seconds."  This
came from Michigan State University.  The article can be found at

Thanks for rushing to my aid!!  :D
