You can hang a few bunches off a coat hanger for example and hang that off something. A garage is usually just fine and full of drying opportunities. Even a covered porch, it shouldn't attract any insects or cause any nuisance problem of its own.

Depending on the humidity (and you might want to let the plants dry out/not be watered for a couple of days before harvest) it will just be a day or two before it is ready for tea, but a little longer to store. You want to make sure it is very dry before storing in plastic. I usually put my home dried herbs in paper lunch bags, which I then fold up, write on them what it is and store long term in a plastic sandwich baggy.
