Typically, recipes for fresh sweet woodruff call for the leaves of the plant to be used before flowering, or they call for just the flowers to be used. In drying sweet woodruff, however, you can use the plant in full flower and dry the whole stem (with leaves and flowers).
Method:
Bunch together several stems and tie securely with spring to form bunches. Hang these bunches either in the kitchen or your airing cupboard and leave to dry until the leaves are crumbly. They look pretty and will give your house the aroma of freshly-grown hay.
Indeed, the distinctive flavour of woodruff intensifies as the plant dries. When dry, separately harvest the flowers and crumble up the leaves. Store in separate jars, label and keep aside until needed to flavour your dishes. Mixed with other herbs, sweet woodruff also makes an excellent ingredient for pot pouris and scented pillow stuffings.
