How do you clean Irish moss?
Thoroughly rinse small amounts of the Irish Moss under cold, running water. Ideally use filtered water. This process should remove any presence of sand, other seaweeds, or any small little plastic threads (usually light blue or red in color) which are left over from harvesting.
Can you use lemon to clean sea moss?
A small amount of lemon or lime juice can also be added to the sea moss while it is soaking to help clean it and reduce the ocean taste.
Can you soak sea moss too long?
Soak the dried Sea Moss in cold water for 15 minutes. Wash algae thoroughly, but do not soak it overnight. (The algae will lose much of its nutritional value, prebiotic effect, and potency if you do.)
