Ingredients
  

To make Sea Moss Gel (optional)

  • 25 grams dried sea moss
  • filtered water enough to cover plus 1/2 cup for blending

To make Sea Moss Tea

  • 1 bag tea any kind, I prefer herbal or something with some flavor for this
  • 250-300 ml hot water to steep tea
  • 1 tablespoon sea moss gel homemade or store-bought
  • honey, lemon juice optional

Instructions
 

To make Sea Moss Gel (optional)

  • Rinse the sea moss thoroughly under running water through a fine mesh strainer.
  • Cover the sea moss with water in a container with a lid.
    25 grams dried sea moss, filtered water
  • Let it sit in your refrigerator for 36-48 hours
  • Strain and rinse the sea moss thoroughly again.
  • Add the sea moss to a high-powered food processor and blend for up to 10 minutes, until it is as fine as possible.
  • add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water and blend for 3 more minutes.
  • Strain the sea moss gel through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl to remove any unprocessed pieces. I used a silicone spatula to press the gel through the sieve.
  • Store the gel in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

To make Sea Moss Tea

  • Steep your tea of choice as per package directions (I just popped some whole hibiscus flowers in hot water (80°C/175°F) and steeped for 5 minutes).
    250-300 ml hot water, 1 bag tea
  • Add 1 tablespoon of sea moss gel to your mug and stir to dissolve.
