I want to make meringues for mishloach manot.
What is the best way to store and how early can I start making them?

Just a word of warning.
One of my first years married I made meringues. Stored them covered in a cool place. Packaged them the night before.
Purim day was a wet, rainy, humid day. Over the course of the day the meringues melted in their packages into a wet sticky mess while delivering.
Maybe there was something I could’ve done differently. But they didn’t survive delivery in humid weather.

Yes, do rethink meringues. They absorb moisture from the air, and on a humid day can melt into a blob before your eyes. When I make meringues, they go straight into the freezer and are served still frozen.

The longer you cook them so they are less moist inside, the more they will last. I cool them in the oven overnight so they dry out completely. That will help them last.
