Pineapple & Sea Moss Wellness Infusion
Immunity & Anti-inflammatory Aid
This recipe combines the natural enzyme bromelain from pineapple with the rich minerals and nutrients of sea moss to create a health-boosting drink.
Yields: Approximately 1 ½ cups
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 6-8 minutes
Steep time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1-2 teaspoons dried Belize Blue Nutrients seaweed/sea moss, either Eucheuma Isiformis or Eucheuma Cottonii
1-2 slices of pineapple, with the skin still on
1 ½ cups spring water
Equipment:
Small saucepan
Strainer
Instructions:
Prepare the Pineapple Water:
Bring 1 ½ cups of spring water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Once the water boils, reduce the heat to a simmer.
Carefully place the 1-2 whole slices of pineapple (with the skin still attached) into the simmering water. Simmer for 6-8 minutes. This allows the natural bromelain enzyme to leach out of the pineapple meat and skin.
Note: Simmering water is ideal for extracting bromelain as it is a sensitive enzyme.
Infuse with Sea Moss:
After 6-8 minutes of simmering, turn off the heat.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried seaweed/sea moss to the hot water. You can cut the sea moss into finer pieces or leave it whole, as preferred.
Let the mixture sit and steep for 30 minutes.
Strain and Serve:
Once the mixture has cooled, carefully lift out the pineapple slices and discard them..
Strain the water to separate it from any remaining sea moss (especially if using Eucheuma Cottonii, which will remain in a rehydrated form).
Drink the pineapple and sea moss infused water at your leisure.
Notes:
Sea Moss Varieties:
If using Eucheuma Isiformis, it will melt into the heated water, creating a smoother infusion.
If using Eucheuma Cottonii, it will rehydrate but largely retain its original form. After draining the water, the rehydrated Eucheuma Cottonii can be used as is – in salads, blended into sauces, or added to other foods for additional health benefits.
Health Benefits: This drink is intended to act as a superfood, helping to boost immunity (from the bromelain) and providing essential minerals and nutrients from the sea moss for gut health, detoxification, joint rejuvenation, anti-inflammatory support and so much more!
