What is sea moss?
Sea moss is commonly called Irish moss, carrageen moss, or chondrus crispus. It's a species of red algae grows along the Atlantic coast of Europe, the Caribbean Islands, and North America. Sea moss gel is the result from blending soaked sea moss with water.

How to make sea moss drink
To make this delicious Irish moss drink, follow this recipe as a guide! Feel free to alter and adjust the measurements to fit your preferences.
In a high-powered blender, combine sea moss gel, non dairy milk, dates, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until well combined, then taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid. If it's too thick for your liking, stream in additional plant based milk until you reach your desired concisisty.

I opted for half a banana instead of dates since I had none. No nutmeg either. This helped mask the taste of the sea moss for me! It’s great! Thank you!! <3

Thanks for the great information, the drink sounds delicious. Have ordered through your website and will add to morning smoothies for sure, as it will replace fresh spirulina (difficult to source reliably ... plus has a funky, distinctive taste hard to mask!)
