The Holly Jolly Sea Moss Gel: A Festive Twist on Your Daily Wellness
While we love the indulgence of the holiday season packed with a whirlwind of twinkling lights, cozy blankets, and plenty of festive meals, it often leaves us feeling a bit sluggish and, to be honest, like we cheated on our health plans!
By infusing your standard sea moss gel with the warming spices of Christmas like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, you aren’t just making your morning smoothie taste like a holiday treat. You’re supercharging your festive wellness routine!
Sea Moss Gel and Your Spice Rack: The Perfect Combo!
Standard sea moss gel is famous for its 92 minerals, but its oceanic aftertaste can be a bit unpeasant for some people. However, the aromatic warmth of your spice rack can change all that. Infusing your gel with the following will transform it from a supplement into a culinary delicacy:
-
Cinnamon: Helps regulate blood sugar levels (perfect for after those holiday cookies).
-
Nutmeg: Supports digestion and helps with seasonal sleep issues.
-
Cloves: Packed with antioxidants and provides a powerful ‘festive’ scent.
The Holly Jolly Sea Moss Gel Recipe
Making this seasonal blend is simple and will make your entire kitchen smell like a Christmas market!
Here’s what you’ll need:
-
2 to 3 cups alkaline or spring water (for blending)
-
2 cinnamon sticks
-
1 tsp whole cloves
-
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
-
A splash of maple syrup or a date for sweetness (optional)
Instructions:
Thoroughly wash your dry sea moss in spring water, removing any sand or salt.
-
Place the cleaned sea moss in a large bowl. Add your cinnamon sticks and whole cloves. Cover with plenty of water and let it soak for 12 to 24 hours. The sea moss will expand and begin to absorb the essential oils from the spices.
-
After soaking, discard the soaking water. Remove the cloves (they can be quite bitter if blended) but keep the cinnamon sticks if you have a high-speed blender (otherwise, remove them too).
-
Place the softened sea moss into your blender. Add fresh spring water and your grated nutmeg. Blend on high until the texture is silky smooth.
-
Pour the gel into a glass mason jar. It will thicken in the fridge over 2 hours and stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.
How to Use Your Festive Sea Moss Gel
This holly jolly holiday sea moss gel isn’t just for eating off the spoon! Here’s how you can use it to add a holiday kick to your daily routine:
-
Christmas Coffee: Stir a tablespoon into your morning latte for a creamy, spiced boost.
-
Holiday Oats: Add it to a warm bowl of oatmeal topped with pecans and cranberries.
-
Festive Face Mask: Believe it or not, cinnamon and sea moss make a great exfoliating mask (just do a patch test first!).
