How to use

Add 5g to thicken soups, stews or sauces.

To create a jelly, boil a small handful of leaves for 20-30 minutes in 1 litre of water. Most of the seaweed will dissolve. Push the rest through a sieve and scrape in the gelatinous parts that come through the sieve. Allow to cool - the jelly will only thicken when cool.

To make tea follow above instructions and add a tea bag of your favourite tea. Alternatively, simply add cloves, cinnamon, star anise and/or some honey to soothe a chesty cough.

For soups, stews and sauces, simply add a handful of Irish moss while cooking.
