Method
- Soak the moss in water overnight, or for around 12 hours.
- Remove the moss and pat dry on kitchen paper. It will have grown a lot.
- Bring 3 cups of water to the boil, then turn off the heat.
- Add the moss, stir and cover. Leave for 10 minutes, stir again, cover and leave for another 10 minutes.
- Blend everything for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your blender.
- When you are happy with the consistency, pour into a mason jar with a lid.
- Once cool, refrigerate. It sets in 8 to 12 hours.
Use as a thickener for smoothies, soups and stews. It also makes a lovely cleanser, face mask or hair conditioner.
