I made my own flakey sea salt from sea water! Here I show you the simple process for how you can make your own salt at home.
This was inspired by a recent trip to France and the traditional salt farming in Noirmoutier. So when I returned to the UK on a visit to Wales I collected sea water and went about making my own sea salt from scratch.

Method

Collect sea water from somewhere you are sure the water is clean & unpolluted. Then Filter this sea water to remove any sand particles.

Reduce the salt water to about 1/6 of its original weight.
So 6 litres will be reduced down to 1 litre.

Put this concentrated sea water mixture in a low oven or dehydrator - at around 80C for around 8 hours / overnight, until the salt crystals start to form.

You’ll see large pieces of salt crystals forming. Gently remove these from the remaining water then finally put this salt back in that low oven or dehydrator for a further couple of hours to just fully dry off the salt.

Store as you would any other salt - in a sealed container.
