How to Make 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. Removing any visible sand, sea salt, or debris.

  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 6-8 hours at room temperature. Do not oversoak or refrigerate during soaking.

  3. Blend the Sea Moss:

    • After soaking, the Sea Moss will have expanded back to its original size and become soft enough to blend.
    • Add the Sea Moss to a high-powered blender with equal parts filtered or spring water and blend until smooth. Gradually add more water and blend until you reach your desired consistency.

  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. Keep it sealed, refrigerated, and use within 3 weeks for maximum benefits!
