Do your collecting when it’s dry and sunny several hours after the morning dew has disappeared (early afternoon), the less moisture the better.
Once you’ve harvested them, avoid storing them in a humid room while they’re drying at room temperature (even the kitchen can be too humid because of the cooking activity).
If you have long winters and they will be stored for several months, replace the dried milk packet once or twice with a fresh packet.
Each weekday we will publish a family friendly tip.
