Prepare the Sea Moss:

  1. Start by cleaning the dried sea moss thoroughly. Rinse it several times to remove any sand or debris.

Prepare the Fruit Purees:

  1. For the mango flavor, peel and chop the mango into small pieces. Blend until smooth.
  2. For the strawberry flavor, wash and hull the strawberries. Blend until smooth.
  3. You can adjust the sweetness of the fruit purees by adding your chosen sweetener to taste.

Mix the Sea Moss with Fruit Purees:

  1. In a separate bowl, combine the sea moss gel with your chosen flavor; mango puree or strawberry puree.
  2. Add coconut milk to the blender and blend to achieve your desired consistency and creaminess.
  3. Ensure that the flavors are well incorporated.

Adjust Sweetness:

  1. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sweetener if necessary. Mix well.

Store Your Sea Moss Gel:

  1. Transfer the flavored sea moss gel into an airtight container or jar. 
  2. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks, or frozen for 3-6 months. 

Enjoy:

Tips:

  • Experiment with the ratios of sea moss, fruit purees, and coconut milk to achieve your preferred consistency and flavor intensity.
  • Coconut milk with higher fat content can be whipped to a firm peak like regular whipping cream and is a great addition to top a homemade pie or as an dairy- free alternative in desserts. 
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sweetener.
  • You can use fresh or frozen fruit, depending on availability and preference.
  • The sea moss gel can also be flavored with other fruits like pineapple, banana, or passion fruit for variety.
  • Gold sea moss gel is more mild in taste than purple sea moss gel, you may want to adjust your fruit amount or sweetness to consider this.
