• 1 cup dried Irish moss (sea moss), rinsed very well
• 1 can (400ml) evaporated milk
• 1 can (400ml) condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp grated nutmeg
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup water
• ice

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Rinse the dried seaweed under running water at least four times, picking out sand and shell. Under-rinsed sea moss tastes like the sea, which nobody wants in a milkshake.
2. Soak it in cold water for 4 hours until it swells and softens and turns pale.
3. Simmer it in fresh water for 15 min until it dissolves into a thick, clear gel. It will look like nothing appetising at this stage.
4. Blend the gel smooth with the evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla and spices.
5. Chill hard, then blend again with ice just before serving — it thickens as it sits and needs loosening.
6. Serve very cold with extra nutmeg grated over. It is sold as a health and stamina drink across Belize, with claims attached that this recipe makes no comment on.
