How to Make Sea Moss Gel

Making sea moss gel is a simple process that involves a few key steps:

1. Preparation: Start with raw Irish sea moss. Rinse it thoroughly to remove any sand or debris. Soak the sea moss in water for 12-24 hours until it expands and softens.

2. Blending: After soaking, drain the water and place the sea moss in a blender. Add fresh water (about 1-2 cups) to achieve your desired gel consistency. Blend until smooth.

3. Setting: Pour the blended mixture into a container and refrigerate. The gel will thicken as it cools, typically setting within a few hours.

This sea moss gel can be used in smoothies, desserts, and various recipes, providing a nutritious boost to your meals.
