Do you dry basil flowers as an herb?

[TomNJ]

I was so busy canning tomatoes this summer that I negligently let my sweet basil go to flower. I cut off all the flower stalks in hopes that there will be enough time for another crop of leaves before the first frost, but now what to do with all of these flower stalks. Can I dry the little flower leaves (not the flowers), that is, will they have the same taste and intensity as an herb as the green leaves?
