Ingredients

1 cup dried wildcrafted sea moss (choose wildcrafted or sustainably farmed for best quality)
2–3 cups filtered water for soaking
1–2 cups filtered water for blending

Instructions

Step 1: Clean the Sea Moss

Rinse your dried sea moss thoroughly under cool water to remove salt, sand, and debris.
Gently massage it to loosen any hidden particles.

Step 2: Soak the Sea Moss

Place rinsed sea moss in a large bowl and cover with filtered water.
Allow it to soak for 12–24 hours at room temperature.
During soaking, it will expand, soften, and become translucent.

Step 3: Blend into Gel

Drain the soaking water (you can save it to water plants as it’s mineral-rich).
Place soaked sea moss into a blender with 1–2 cups filtered water, depending on your preferred consistency.
Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Store and Chill

Pour the blended sea moss gel into a clean, airtight glass jar.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 weeks, or freeze in ice cube trays for up to 6 months.
