Rinse Irish moss thoroughly to remove excess debris.
Soak for 15 minutes in enough water to cover. Add more water as the moss swells to make sure it stays covered.
Remove rehydrated moss from the water and rinse again.Add soaked Irish moss + an equal amount of water to a blender.
Blend on high speed for 30seconds at a time, while adding more water. Blend until you get a smooth, pudding-like texture.
For best results, store in the fridge in an airtight glass container.
It will be gelatinous when chilled. Always use a clean spoon to serve. Good for up to 4 weeks in the fridge.
Blending times may vary depending on if you use whole leaves or flakes for the gel. The flakes are easier to work with.
