What you need :
In order to make infused sea moss at home you need only a couple of ingredients and tools

Ingredients:

• 0.5 oz (14 grams) raw unsoaked sea moss or 5.5 oz soaked sea moss (156 grams)
• 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (any of your choice will work!)
• 1 cup water (filtered or spring water is best)

Tools:

• Large bowl
• Blender
• Airtight container or mason jar

Simple recipe step-by-step

In case you have already soaked sea moss, you can go straight to step 3. If you prefer to use dried sea moss, the process will take a little longer, but it is still much simpler than it seems.

1. Clean the Sea Moss
Start by placing your dried sea moss in a large bowl and covering it with water. Rub the sea moss gently — almost massage it — to get rid of any dirt or particles. Drain the water and repeat this step one more time to make sure it’s clean.

2. Soak the Sea Moss
After cleaning, cover the sea moss with fresh filtered or spring water in a large bowl. Soak it for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature. During this time, the sea moss will swell and soften, making blending easier.

3. Prepare the Ingredients
Once your sea moss is soaked and soft, drain it and add it to a blender. Throw in your chosen fruit — mango, berries, dates or your other favorites — and add a cup of alkaline or spring water.

4. Blend It All Together
Blend everything on high until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Blending time may vary from 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the strength of your blender. If it’s too thick, feel free to add a little more water to get it just right.

5. Store Your Sea Moss Gel
Pour the blended sea moss into an airtight container or mason jar. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to thicken up and once it’s ready, you can store it in the refrigerator.

Some tips and tricks to make it work:

• Always use filtered or spring water for both soaking and blending to avoid any impurities.
• For the smoothest consistency, use a high-powered blender. If your blender struggles, just soak the sea moss a little longer.
• Feel free to experiment with different fruits for unique flavors. Just a heads-up: avoid bananas if you plan to store the gel for more than a few days, as they can cause discoloration and make food ripe faster [1].

Enjoy it with different meals every day

Your fruit-infused sea moss gel can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or you can freeze it for up to 6 months.
You can add it to smoothies, desserts, salad dressings, or even use it as a thickening agent in soups and teas. For a daily boost of nutrients and your overall wellness [2], go for 2 tablespoons of sea moss gel, either straight or blended into your favorite recipes.
