Seamoss Punch / Irish Moss Punch - Step by Step - Episode 1061

sweetener

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

Open the pack of Irish moss and empty it into a bowl.

Fill the bowl with water and rub the Irish moss with your fingertips to wash off the salt.

Drain the water and wash the Irish moss a couple of times to remove all salt.

Squeeze half of a lime or lemon juice into the bowl with the Irish moss and mix well.

Discard the lime/lemon and the water, then fill the bowl with more water to cover the Irish moss.

Soak the Irish moss for about 15 minutes (the longer, the softer it gets).

Transfer the soaked Irish moss to a pot and add water.

Place the pot on medium-low heat and allow it to come to a simmer.

Once simmering, the Irish moss will start breaking down; wait until it is translucent and soft.

Put the softened Irish moss into a blender and blend until smooth.

Let the blended mixture cool down before pouring it into a storage container.

To make the punch, use 1 cup of the Irish moss concentrate in a blender.

Add evaporated milk and whole milk (or almond/coconut milk for non-dairy).

Add sweetened condensed milk (optional), sugar, cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg.

Add Angostura aromatic bitters and blend until combined.

Pour the punch into a glass over ice or serve as is.
