Make your own sea/Irish moss gel - easy and quick
To make Sea Moss Gel or Irish Moss Gel yourself, you only need dried Irish Moss seaweed (approx. 50 g) and water.
Here is a step-by-step guide:
- First, the dried Irish Moss seaweed must be thoroughly rinsed to remove any salt residue. Then, soak the seaweed in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight so that it can rehydrate.
- After soaking, rinse the seaweed thoroughly again and then place it in a high-speed blender. Now add enough fresh water to cover the seaweed. Depending on the desired consistency, we recommend about 1 cup of seaweed to 2–3 cups of water.
- Blend the mixture for about 2–3 minutes until a fine, smooth gel is formed.
- The homemade Irish Moss gel is then ready to use. Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, it will generally last for about 5 days and will become slightly firmer over time.
Tip: For a longer shelf life, you can freeze the gel in portions using ice cube trays. This makes it easy to use the Irish Moss gel directly from the freezer as needed for smoothies, desserts, or other recipes.
This gel can be used in a variety of recipes as a source of nutrients, thickener, or gelling agent, including smoothies, desserts, or sauces. Note that the taste of Irish Moss gel is neutral and will not affect the flavor in most recipes.
Irish Moss is also a true miracle remedy in the cosmetic field and can be a benefit for the body in both hair and face masks. Carrageenan rehydrates and provides the skin with moisture and shine.
PS: Our Irish Moss is from wild collection, which means it is harvested from the sea. We carry out constant quality controls so that we only offer the best quality.
