Sea Moss Gel and Chondrus Crispus

Sea moss gel is a powerhouse of nutrients, and making it at home is easier than you might think. Recently, I got my hands on some Chondrus Crispus, a particular species of sea moss that I hadn’t used before.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your own sea moss gel using Chondrus Crispus.

• A glass container for storage

  
  

Instructions

Directions should always be short and to the point.

1. Start by taking about 1/3 cup of Chondrus Crispus and soaking it in water. Add a splash of key lime juice to the soaking water to help neutralize any oceanic taste and maximize the sea moss’s nutritional benefits. Let it soak for about 1 to 2 hours.

2. After soaking, transfer the sea moss to a high-speed blender. Add 1 to 1.5 cups of fresh water, depending on how thick or thin you want your gel to be. If you prefer a thicker gel, stick to 1 cup of water. For a thinner consistency, go up to 1.5 cups.

   Blend until you achieve a smooth, gel-like substance. The key here is to blend until there are no lumps, and the texture is consistent throughout.

3. Once your sea moss gel is ready, pour it into a glass container. Seal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. It’s best to use it within two weeks to ensure it remains fresh and potent.
