A New Method to Dry Herbs?

In the past I have frequently dried chiles and a few other foods in the 'fridge. You simply wrap them loosely in paper towels and let them sit in the very low humidity atmosphere. It's slow, but, since the temp is low, many more aromatics are retained that are lost in other methods.

It suddenly occurred to me the other day as the first killing frost approached my luxurious basil plant on the patio that, duh, maybe I could dry basil leaves the same way, paper-wrapped in the fridge. Well, double-duh, I now have in my possession the most fragrant perfectly dried basil leaves I've ever smelled. Worked like a champ.
