How to Prepare Sea moss Gel from Sea moss Powder

The first time I tried making these, it was pretty easy and fast and even more convenient since I had a stock of sea moss powder from a previous order.

Surprisingly, it tasted great, although had some strong sea taste to it. But I was able to tackle this by adding some key lime juice, to offset the strong taste.

So, yes, it is possible to use sea moss powder to create gel.  This process works best if you use a small blender like a Nutri Bullet.  By following the steps below, you will be able to create over two cups of thick sea moss gel from just one-quarter of a cup of sea moss powder.

So, for purposes of convenience, this method seems to be getting quite popular. You can get sea moss powder from your local herb shop or from reputable brands online.

In this guide, we will discuss how to make sea moss gel from sea moss powder and also, how best to make your sea moss powder taste palatable. Read on to learn more.

Is Sea Moss Powder Water Soluble?

One of the most interesting things about sea moss powder is that it is water soluble. This means that it can be dissolved in water, and then taken orally.

Traditionally, sea moss powder was taken by mixing it with warm water and then drinking the mixture. However, nowadays it is more common to add the powder to smoothies or juices.

Some people even use it as a coffee or tea substitute. Whatever way you take it, sea moss powder is an easy way to get all the benefits of the seaweed.

So, if sea moss powder is water soluble, how then do you dissolve it?

How Do You Dissolve Sea Moss Powder?

While sea moss powder can be consumed in capsule form, it is also possible to dissolve the powder in water and drink it as a tea. Some people also add sea moss powder to smoothies or other recipes.

To dissolve sea moss powder, simply add 1-2 teaspoons of the powder to a glass of warm spring water. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved, then drink immediately. You can also add agave, key lime juice, or other ingredients to taste.

If you are not used to taking sea moss powder, it is best to start with a lower dose and gradually increase as needed. Consult with a healthcare provider before taking sea moss powder if you have any underlying medical conditions.

How Do You Make Sea Moss into Gel form?

However, if you wonder how the powder is obtained, keep in mind that the tedious step of washing dried sea moss and then blending has been taken care of during the conversion step into powder form by the companies which produce them. Although, you can make your own sea moss powder from dried sea moss at home.

So, it’s way more convenient, and especially if you’re busy and would still like to make your own gel at home.

How to Make Sea Moss Gel from Powder

Below are the following steps to make your own sea moss gel from moss powder:

1. On the stove, heat up two cups of water until it is piping hot and steaming.
2. Add one quarter of a cup of sea moss powder to a blender cup/cup that comes with your blender.  Make sure this cup can hold at least two cups of liquid.
3. Carefully pour the hot water into the cup with the sea moss powder.  Place the blender attachment on the cup and shake this well to ensure there isn’t powder stuck somewhere that won’t blend. You may need a small spatula to gently stir the ingredients together before blending.
4. Attach the cup of water and powder to the blender and let this blend for one minute, or until you notice it is well-blended and taking on a thick consistency. 
5. When the powder and hot water have sufficiently blended in the blender, remove the lid and pour the gel into a sterile glass jar with a lid. 
6. Allow to cool and store in the refrigerator.  It should last around one month refrigerated.  You can also fill it in ice cube trays until it freezes and pop them out into a freezer bag for long-term storage and use.
