Recipes
Sea Moss Drink – thatgirlccokshealthy.com
Ingredients
100g of Jamaican Irish moss/sea moss
6 cups warm water (to soak the moss)
2 tbsp of linseed (flaxseed)
1 cup Almond milk (can use coconut milk)
Coconut condensed milk (optional to taste)
1/4 cup of Sweetener – coconut nectar, agave nectar, maple syrup
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp of Vanilla
Instructions
Place the sea moss in a colander.
Use your hands to thoroughly wash any debris and excess sea salt from your moss. Do this several times until the sea moss looks and feels less gritty.
Place the sea moss and flaxseed in a large size bowl with the 6 cups of warm water and leave to soak overnight. The moss will expand in size and the water should thicken slightly
Use a colander to pour and drain off the excess water that was used to soak the sea moss
Place the sea moss into a blender bowl and puree into a paste. The sea moss should be gelatinous in texture. Don’t worry it’s not too thick to begin with, when you store in a large jar in the refrigerator it will turn thick over time
Scoop out the paste and transfer into a jar/bowl and refrigerate.
Add 4tbsp of the sea moss paste along with the almond milk, vanilla, spices, sweetener of your choice into a high speed blender
Blend into a smooth consistency – add any extra i.e rum, stout, oats etc.. now if required
serve accordingly.
Sea Moss Gel – Jamaicanherbal.com
- The first step in using Sea Moss is preparing Sea Moss Gel. There are a variety of ways to make this. The first step common to all methods is washing and cleaning the raw Sea Moss. As it is harvested from the ocean and dried, it is usually clumped together with sand or other impediments. The best way to clean it is allowing it to soak in cold water for about ten minutes with lemon (to help remove freshness), then rinsing the Sea Moss while rubbing it with your fingers to shake loose any extra sand that may be stuck to it.
- Once the above step is complete, you now have two options–the traditional way that most Caribbean folk use is to boil the Sea Moss for 10-15 minutes with a few cinnamon sticks. It is then strained to remove any clumps and then refrigerated. The other option which I prefer is faster and you don’t loose any Irish Moss in the straining process. I simply blend the washed Moss in hot water with the cinnamon sticks.
- The final step is simply to pour the mixture into a container and refrigerate. After a few hours the jello like Sea Moss Gel is created. It can now be easily added to smoothies and other recipes.
