HOW TO PREPARE IRISHMOSS GEL/PASTE.
Directions
- Thoroughly wash 40g of the dried wild-crafted seaweed in pure water, by soaking and rubbing it to remove any foreign bodies.
- Rinse again to remove any remaining particles,
- Place the Irishmoss into a jar with 500ml pure water.
- Soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours (it will be easier to blend smooth).
- Remove Irishmoss from the water and cut into pieces under 2 inches, to make sure it does not trap itself around the blender blade.
- Add Irishmoss to a high-speed blender (like a Vitamix or Blendtec) with the water it was soaked in. This works well, but you can vary the consistency depending on how you want to use it.
- Blend until smooth (increasing the speed slowly), which will take a few minutes and turn a cream colour. At this point it is pourable but will solidify when chilled.
- Pour into a glass jar and place a lid on top.
- Store in the refrigerator for on hand use in drinks and recipes.
