Making sea moss gel from flakes is a simple process that requires minimal effort. Here are the steps you can follow:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried sea moss flakes
- 4-6 cups of water (filtered or spring water)
Instructions:
- Rinse the sea moss flakes thoroughly to remove any debris or sand.
- Soak the rinsed sea moss flakes in a large bowl of water for 12-24 hours.
- After soaking, the sea moss should have expanded and become softer.
- Rinse the sea moss again and transfer it to a pot with 4-6 cups of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sea moss becomes translucent and tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Blend the sea moss and water in a high-speed blender until it becomes a smooth and creamy gel.
- Pour the sea moss gel into a clean jar and refrigerate until it thickens and sets.
You can store the sea moss gel in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks. You can add the gel to smoothies, soups, sauces, or use it as a natural thickener in various recipes.
