How to make salt from sea water

Collect sea water from a clean and unpolluted source.

Filter the sea water to remove any sand particles.

Reduce the salt water to about 1/6 of its original weight (e.g., 6 liters down to 1 liter).

Put the concentrated sea water mixture in a low oven or dehydrator at around 80C for about 8 hours or overnight, until salt crystals start to form.

Gently remove the large pieces of salt crystals from the remaining water.

Put the salt back in the low oven or dehydrator for a further couple of hours to fully dry off the salt.

Store the salt in a sealed container.
