Notes
You can add essential oils if you want for extra scent and benefits. Frankincense would be a wonderful addition
The gold mica powder is optional. I added about a teaspoon to make the orange color similar to sea moss.
You will want a high power blender to help you grind up the sea moss, otherwise it might be grainy.
