Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw dried sea moss check notes for brand
  • 3 cups filtered or spring water for blending
  • filtered or spring water for soaking
  • 1 lime sliced

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Fine mesh strainer or colander
  • Blender or food processor
  • Airtight jar or container for storage
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Thoroughly rinse the raw sea moss under cold water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Place the sea moss in a large bowl with lime slices and cover with filtered water. Let it soak for 8–12 hours or overnight until it expands and becomes soft and gel-like.

  2. Drain the soaked sea moss and rinse it one more time.
  3. Add the soaked sea moss to a blender along with 2–3 cups of filtered water. Blend on high speed for 3–5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Adjust water for your preferred consistency (less water = thicker gel).
  4. Pour the gel into an airtight jar or container and refrigerate. It will thicken further as it chills. Sea moss gel keeps for up to 3–4 weeks in the fridge.

Notes

  • I use this brand of raw sea moss
  • Consistency: Adjust the water during blending for a thinner or thicker gel depending on how you plan to use it.
  • Flavor: Sea moss gel is neutral in taste and can be flavored with fruit, ginger, or honey when used in smoothies.
  • Use: Add 1–2 tablespoons to smoothies, teas, soups, or even as a natural face mask.
  • Freezing: You can freeze sea moss gel in ice cube trays for convenient single-use portions.
  • Nutrient Tip: Make sure to rinse thoroughly and soak long enough to remove excess salt from raw sea moss, which can be naturally oceanic and strong in taste
