Warning: Skip grass near roads, farmland, or animal droppings.
Step-by-step
Before dawn, tie a clean bandana or shirt around your calves.
Walk slowly through tall, ungrazed grass until the cloth is soaked.
Wring the cloth into a container. Repeat until sun burns off the dew.
Purify before drinking — dew picks up whatever's on the plants.
Warning: Skip grass near roads, farmland, or animal droppings.
