How To Prepare Seamoss?

There are a couple of methods of making Sea Moss gel. It’s fairly simple to do, and basically requires you to properly wash your sea moss, soak it or boil it (I’ll let you know which method I prefer later, and why), and then blending it. I’ve got 2 methods I’ll look at here with you, so let’s get started.

Method 1: Soak and Blend

Take some Sea Moss, use about 30 grams (0.1 ounce) of Sea Moss at a time. This will make about 500 grams (17.6 ounces) of Sea Moss Gel. The amount that you choose to use will depend on what you’re wanting to do with it. I use this over the course of a week. Some people will use this amount in one recipe. Vigorously clean the seaweed in fresh clean alkaline water to get the excess salt and sand off. You might like to do this a couple of times. Using alkalized filtered water, cover the Sea Moss and allow to soak for twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours. Blend the Sea Moss for about 5 minutes. Pour the Sea Moss Gel into a clean glass jar and store in the refrigerator.

Method 2: Boil and Blend

As above: Thoroughly clean your Sea Moss in fresh clean water to remove any impurities and salt. Using alkaline filtered water, cover the Irish Sea Moss and allow to soak for four (4) to six (6) hours. Transfer the water and Sea Moss into a pot and allow to simmer for fifteen (15) to thirty (30) minutes. Top up the water as needed. Allow the water level to reduce to a small amount. Take the Sea Moss and water mixture off the heat and allow to cool. Once the Sea Moss has cooled sufficiently, transfer the mixture to your blender. Blend the Sea Moss in to a smooth gel consistency. Pour the Sea Moss Gel into a clean glass jar and store in the refrigerator.
