Ingredients

  • 3 litres (105 fl oz) fresh seawater

Method

The best time to harvest sea salt is in summer; the hotter the climate, the faster the water will evaporate.

Pass the seawater twice through a sieve lined with muslin (cheesecloth) to remove any sand or unwanted particles. Pour the seawater into two large trays and leave in a place where there is plenty of sunshine until all the water has evaporated, about 1 week depending on the temper
