How to Make Sea Moss in 5 Minutes
If you’re on a journey toward optimal health, you’ve probably heard about the incredible benefits of sea moss. Packed with 92 of the 102 essential minerals the body needs, sea moss is a natural powerhouse for boosting your immune system, improving digestion, and promoting healthy skin. But did you know you can prepare your sea moss gel in just five minutes?
Yes, it’s that simple! At TRAPTROPICAL, we believe that nourishing your body should be easy and accessible for everyone. In this blog, we’ll break down how to make sea moss gel in 5 minutes, so you can seamlessly add it to your smoothies, teas, or even use it as a topical treatment for your skin.
What You’ll Need:
• 1 cup dried sea moss (wild-crafted, of course!)
• 2 cups water
• High-speed blender
• Glass jar for storage
Before we dive in, make sure you’re using wild-harvested sea moss for maximum nutrients. If you’re unsure where to get real, high-quality sea moss, check out our online store where we offer 100% wild-crafted sea moss straight from St. Lucia.
Step 1: Rinse Your Sea Moss Thoroughly
Once you receive your sea moss, give it a thorough rinse under cold water to remove any excess salt or debris from its natural ocean environment. Real sea moss will have a slight oceanic smell and feel a little gritty due to the salt—this is a good sign! Rinse it until the water runs clear.
Step 2: Soak the Sea Moss
Place your rinsed sea moss in a bowl and cover it with fresh water. Let it soak for 3-5 hours (or overnight if you prefer to prep in advance). You’ll notice that it expands and becomes almost gel-like as it absorbs the water. You can store soaked sea moss in the fridge, ready to blend when needed.
But don’t worry—if you’re in a rush, you can skip this soaking step and go straight to blending if you’re using pre-soaked or pre-prepped sea moss.
Step 3: Blend
Now it’s time for the magic! Add 1 cup of soaked sea moss into your high-speed blender, along with 2 cups of hot water. Blend for 1-2 minutes until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. That’s it! Your sea moss gel is ready.
How to Use Sea Moss Gel
Once you’ve made your sea moss gel, you can use it in a variety of ways. Here are a few ideas:
• Smoothies: Add a tablespoon to your daily smoothie for a nutrient-packed boost.
• Teas and juices: Stir it into your favorite herbal tea or juice to support digestion and immune health.
• Skincare: Apply the gel directly to your skin as a natural moisturiser or face mask. Sea moss is known for its hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.
How to Store
Pour your sea moss gel into a clean, airtight glass jar and store it in the fridge. It will keep for about 3-4 weeks (consume as fresh as possible), so you can make a large batch and use it daily without any hassle. If you want to make it last even longer, freeze it in ice cube trays and pop a cube into your smoothies whenever you need!
Why Choose Wild-Harvested Sea Moss?
Remember, not all sea moss is created equal. Real, wild-crafted sea moss is harvested from mineral-rich oceans, while many pool-grown or fake versions lack the essential nutrients your body craves. That’s why at TRAPTROPICAL, we only offer sea moss that’s sustainably harvested straight from the ocean, ensuring you’re getting the best nature has to offer. We also source various types of Irish moss which you can order via our instagram or via email!
