Presenting my homemade Irish Sea Moss gel :')

Irish Moss (chrondrus crispus) is a real SUPERFOOD cause it strengthens the immune system, increases thyroid health, clears mucus, reduces inflammation, improves circulation, digestion, energy, mood, libido, skin, lung, blood, muscle and heart health and contains 92 of the 102 minerals found in the human body! It's mad expensive to buy but grows abundantly near where I grew up and my parents still live, so challenge accepted!!!

I searched a bunch of beaches until I found some... I harvested it from the Atlantic myself, rinsed it outdoors, hand cleaned it LITERALLY piece by piece a minimum of FOUR TIMES (turns out it is really, reaaaally dirty) soaked it in limes to neutralize the taste, blended it with alkaline spring water and this morning I finally drank it in my smoothie!!! My back and neck are killing me, it was so much more labour intensive than I thought and took me all weekend. But I am really proud of it!!!!!

It smells like absolute shit

I got 3 jars and 2 ice cube trays, then dried the rest to use later cause I was just getting so sore and tired. I promised my friend a jar but gave her a couple ice cubes to try first instead cause it was so hard to make and i don't think she'll eat it all hahaha but if she does I'll gladly share more, I poured SO MUCH LOVE IN HERE!!!!

Thanks for reading about my not-so-little weekend project!!

Have you ever tried sea moss? 🙃
