Step 1: Cleaning of leaves
First of all collect fresh mehndi leaves. Try to make the leaves completely green and fresh, which do not have dried or rotten leaves. Now take these leaves in a large pot and wash it thoroughly with clean water. Repeat this process two or three times so that dust, soil, germs and any type of worms and insects are completely removed from the leaves. Keep in mind that the leaves are completely clean, because this purity will decide the quality of powder.
Step 2: Drying leaves
Now spread the washed leaves on a cotton cloth or on a clean newspaper. Do not dry them in direct sunlight, because strong sunlight can lighten the tone of mehndi and its natural fragrance also decreases. Place the leaves in a shady and airy place where there is no moisture. Leave them for 3 to 4 days until they dry completely.
