Make Your Own Sea Moss Gel at Home

Before You Begin:

  • Cleanliness is Key: Always make sure your hands are clean to avoid contaminating the Sea Moss.
  • Water Quality: Never use tap water. Use filtered, spring, or alkaline water for washing and soaking the Sea Moss.
  • Quantity Considerations: A little Sea Moss goes a long way. After soaking, it will expand to about twice its original size. You don’t need to prepare all your Sea Moss at once. Just 2 oz. of Sea Moss can make about 32 oz. of Sea Moss Gel.
  • Natural Recipe: Our Sea Moss Gel recipe is 100% natural with no additives or preservatives. It lasts approximately 3 weeks when kept refrigerated.
  • Flavoring Your Sea Moss Gel: Consider blending in your favorite fruits or herbs at step 3 of the preparation process. Popular choices include strawberries, mangoes, or mint leaves, which not only enhance the flavor but also add extra nutrients.
  • Storage: Keep your Sea Moss Gel in an airtight container (like a mason jar or Tupperware) to avoid spoilage.
  • Freezing Tips: Pour the Sea Moss Gel into plastic ice cube trays and freeze to extend its shelf life from 3 weeks to 3 months. Frozen Sea Moss cubes can be easily added to smoothies or used on your face to reduce puffiness.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sea Moss:

    • Remove your Sea Moss from the package. It will have a slight ocean smell, which is normal.
    • Place the dried Sea Moss in a large bowl, cover it with water, and massage it until it’s clean. Remove any visible sea debris, dirt, or particles. Clean your Sea Moss twice to ensure thorough cleaning.

  2. Soak the Sea Moss:

    • Place the cleaned Sea Moss into a large bowl and cover it with filtered or spring water. Ensure all parts of the Sea Moss are submerged.
    • You can add a squeeze of lime juice to the soaking water to help neutralize any ocean smell and taste.
    • Cover the bowl and let it soak for 12-24 hours at room temperature. Do not oversoak or refrigerate during soaking.

  3. Blend the Sea Moss:

    • After soaking, the Sea Moss will lose some color and become almost translucent. It will have expanded to about twice its original size.
    • Remove the Sea Moss from the water and place it on a clean, dry plate.
    • Add the Sea Moss to a high-powered blender with just enough filtered or spring water to cover it and blend. Gradually add more water and blend until you reach your desired consistency (about 1-3 minutes).

  4. Store the Gel:

    • Transfer the blended Sea Moss into an airtight container or mason jar and refrigerate. The gel will thicken after about 2 hours in the fridge.

  5. Enjoy Your Sea Moss Gel:

    • Add 1-2 tablespoons of your Sea Moss Gel to smoothies, tea, or juices for a nutritious boost.
