✅ 1 cup dried sea moss
✅ 4 cups filtered or spring water (for soaking)
✅ 1-2 cups filtered or spring water (for blending)
🔹 Step 1: Wash It Well – Place the dried sea moss in a bowl and rinse it under cool water to remove any ocean salt or sand.
🔹 Step 2: Soak It Overnight – Put the washed sea moss in a bowl and cover it with 4 cups of clean water. Let it soak for 12-24 hours. It will expand and become soft and jelly-like!
🔹 Step 3: Blend It Up! – Drain the soaking water (you can save a little for blending). Add the soft sea moss to a blender with 1-2 cups of fresh water, depending on how thick you want it. Blend until smooth and creamy!
🔹 Step 4: Store & Enjoy – Pour the sea moss gel into a glass jar and keep it in the fridge. It lasts up to 3 weeks and is ready to use anytime!
