Use bomba rice, as it absorbs twice as much water. Then toss in the saffron and mussels.

Hello CHasR,

I have good experience with (German Name) Kieselgel, Siliciumdioxid, SiO2. It is blue when ready to dry and brown when wet. I used to put it into a closed glass together with the reed. It can be re-activated by drying via heating in the kitchen stove at 110 °C. But the reed will become wet again after some playing. So it's not a real help ...
