How do I use Irish Moss in Ice Cream???

[Minnie]

I received my Irish Moss that I bought for adding to my raw ice cream as a thickener today. I added ½ tsp to two cups of liquid and blended it. It didn’t seem to thicken it, probably because it all seemed to fall to the bottom. It is flaky and I don’t see how it is supposed to dissolve in with the liquid. I know raw foodist and raw restaurants use Irish Moss to thicken their soups, dressings, puddings, creams, and ice creams. But I seemed to have done it wrong. Please help me figure out how I’m supposed to make the flaky substance dissolve in the liquid. And I know it should because I had raw ice cream with Irish moss in it at a raw restaurant and there were no flakes. :p

Also does ½ tsp for two cups of liquid sound good. I don’t have a recipe. I’m just winging it. :cool:

Thanks for any help! :D

Here is a site that has some very useful information along with recipes:

I am sure there is a lot more info out there also, most of it suggesting that you would need to use heat to disolve the moss for use.

Hope this helps.
