How to Make a Traditional Jamaican Sea Moss Drink: A Step-by-Step Guide

Sea moss has long been cherished in Jamaican culture for its natural healing properties. Known for its wealth of minerals and nutrients, this superfood is a key ingredient in many traditional Jamaican drinks. If you want to enjoy the benefits of sea moss in a quick and easy way, our ready-made sea moss gel is the perfect solution! In this guide, we’ll show you how to make a simple and delicious Jamaican-style sea moss drink that’s entirely plant-based.

Ingredients:

•  2 tablespoons of Mecantu’s Sea Moss Gel
• 1 cup of coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1-2 teaspoons of agave syrup, maple syrup, or your preferred vegan sweetener (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
• A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional for a chilled drink)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:
   - In a blender, combine 2 tablespoons of Mecantu’s Sea Moss Gel with 1 cup of coconut milk (or any plant-based milk you prefer). Coconut milk is traditionally used in Jamaica, but you can swap it with almond, oat, or soy milk for a different flavour.
   - Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If you want a thicker consistency, you can add more sea moss gel or use less milk.
2. Sweeten the Drink:
   - Add 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen sweetener (agave syrup or maple syrup works wonderfully for a vegan version). You can adjust the amount based on how sweet you like your drink.
   - If you prefer, add a dash of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor and bring an aromatic sweetness.
3. Add Spice (Optional):
   - To add a traditional Jamaican touch, sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. This gives the drink a warming, spiced note that’s perfect for cooler days.
   - Blend again for a few seconds to ensure the spices are well incorporated.
4. Serve:
   - Pour the drink into a glass. If you want a chilled refreshment, add ice cubes and stir.
   - For an extra garnish, you can sprinkle a little more cinnamon or garnish with a mint leaf to make it look as beautiful as it tastes!
5. Enjoy:
   - Your vegan Jamaican-style sea moss drink is now ready to enjoy! Sip and indulge in the smooth, creamy texture while benefiting from the nourishment that sea moss offers.
