Ask anyone who grew up in the Caribbean about sea moss and they'll probably mention the drink: thick, creamy, sweet and spiced. Every family has its own version. Here's a simple one to start with.
You'll need (serves 4)
- 4 tablespoons of Gold Sea Moss Gel (or 20g dried sea moss, soaked and boiled until soft)
- 750ml milk or plant milk
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk, honey or sugar, to taste
- ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice, to serve
Method
- Add everything except the ice to a blender.
- Blend for about a minute until smooth and frothy.
- Taste and add more sweetener or spice if you like.
- Chill for an hour, or pour over ice and serve straight away.
Make it your own
- Peanut punch style: blend in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
- Oaty: add a handful of oats for a thicker drink.
- Fruity: use our Strawberry Sea Moss Gel and a banana.
Keep any leftovers in the fridge and drink within 2 days.
