Sea Moss Recipes

Sea moss gel adds silky texture and a gentle, neutral taste to everyday recipes. Below you’ll find a UK-friendly set of ideas with precise measurements—from smoothies and soups to sauces, porridge, and simple desserts—plus a quick DIY gel method.

Featured Summary: Most people use 1–2 tablespoons of sea moss gel daily (new users: start with 1 teaspoon). Stir into smoothies, soups, warm (not boiling) drinks, sauces, or porridge. Keep gel refrigerated and use a clean spoon.

DIY Sea Moss Gel (Small Batch)

1. Rinse 50 g dried raw sea moss under cold water to remove any sand/salt.
2. Soak in a bowl with 1.5–2 L cold filtered water for 12–24 hours (change water once).
3. Drain, rinse again, then blend with 350–500 ml fresh filtered water until silky.
4. Pour into a clean jar; chill to set. Fridge: up to ~2–3 weeks. Freeze: portion in silicone trays.

Tip: Start with less water for a thicker gel; you can thin later.
