How To
Turn your raw sea moss into a gel and add 1-2 tablespoons a day to your smoothies, protein shakes and food. Or have it on its own!
Rinse: Rinse the sea moss and remove any sea debris or particles. Be sure to use filtered, spring, or alkaline water. Never use tap water to clean your sea moss.
Soak: Place the sea moss in a large bowl and cover with filtered, alkaline, or spring water. Make sure all the sea moss is submerged. Cover the bowl and allow it to soak for at least 12-24 hours. Your sea moss will greatly expand- up to three times its size.
Strain: Once it is done soaking, strain and rinse sea moss again (while preserving the soaking water). It is now ready to use. You can leave the sea moss in this state and use as needed or prepare a sea moss gel with the next step.
Blend: To make a gel, add the sea moss to a high-powered blender along with the 2-3 cups of the soaking water (which now contains tons of nutrients!). Blend until it is smooth, about 1-3 minutes.
Store: Transfer the sea moss to an airtight container and refrigerate. The sea moss gel will thicken in the fridge after 2 hours.
