When to pick white clover

[CarolynRenee]

I'd like to make some tea using white clover.

When is the best time to harvest the flowers? When they are teeny, blooming, or when they've started to brown & go to seed?

Thanks!

Collect flowers early in the season, when they become ripe and dry. Once fully dry, they can be crushed or ground to powder. Later in the season, they may carry a harmful mould.
