Irish moss is a red algae that grows in low-tide areas on rocky coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, also known as carrageenan, for the Irish town Carragheen. It is used as a gelling agent in cosmetics, a thickener in ice creams and soymilk, a cattle feed, as an anti-inflammatory medicine, a clarifier in beer brewing. In the Caribbean it is often mixed with sugar, milk, rum and nutmeg to make a quenching drink that is rumored to have aphrodisiac qualities.

INTERNATIONAL IRISH MOSS MAGNUM - Its got nutmeg and some cinnamon to give it flavor, and of course there is milk and some sulfury seawater carrageenan flavor. But mostly it’s the starchy, bland oat flavor that dominates, and peanut butter, which leaves a thin coating of oil on the roof of my mouth and back of my tongue, a nice nutty aftertaste.
