How to make Sea Moss Gel
Making sea moss gel is super easy. You only need two ingredients:
Sea Moss and filtered water
First, soak your sea moss for about 2 days (48 hours) in a bowl of filtered water.
You’ll want to use a bowl bigger than the dried sea moss because it’s going to expand.
After your sea moss has soaked and expanded, drain it in a colander, and rinse it well under running water.
Then, add it to a blender with about 1 cup of filtered or distilled water and blend until it is smooth. You may need to use a high powered blender for this so you don’t end up with grainy gel.
That’s it!
Store your sea moss in a glass jar (a mason jar is what I used) in your fridge for up to 4 weeks.
