Equipment

  • clean mason jar or airtight container
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw sea moss
  • 2 cups spring water

Instructions

  • First, place a cup of raw wild crafted sea moss in a medium bowl and repeatedly rinse the sea moss, about 4 times.
  • cover with enough reverse osmosis filtered or spring water to completely submerge the seaweed (a little extra on top as the seaweed will expand and absorb the water). Cover and set aside for 12 to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • The seaweed will expand and absorb water as it soaks. It feels gooey and slippery when you touch it.
  • After soaking place the soaked and drained sea moss in high-speed blender with 2 cups of spring water or reverse osmosis water and blend until smooth. You can add 5-7 pieces of pitted dates to add some sweetness and taste if you choose to.
  • Transfer to a clean jar or air tight container and refrigerate. Sea moss gel can last in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks and up to 4 months in the freezer.

Notes

Helpful Tips:
  • First, make sure to rinse the sea moss weed thoroughly under water. The aroma of the sea that emanates from a packet of our Irish Moss is a sure sign that it is genuine. However, it may be unappealing to some. The ocean flavor will fade and the color will lighten as you rinse it.
  • Make sure you have a clean, airtight storage container.
  • Once you've made the gel (using either of these methods), store it in a clean container with a lid in the fridge. After about 2 hours, a gel will form.
  • The gel will keep in the fridge for about 3-4 weeks. If you make too much, you can freeze it and it will keep for up to 3-4 months.
  • A typical daily serving is 1-2 tablespoons of the gel, but experiment to see what works best for you.
  • You can boost your sea moss gel by adding some drops alkaline booster in the water.
  • You need a very good blender to make your sea moss gel smooth. I use my Vitamix which blends it perfectly. When you first blend the sea moss, it may not form into a gel immediately, but when you put it in the fridge, it will thicken.
