    I wrote down a recipe I saw and it was equal amounts of Sea salt and water . Boil water and add salt stirring in until dissolved and let cool .

    Isn't all salt originally sea salt?

    Maybe at some point in ancient history, but that's not important here. "Table salt" has iodine added in almost every case. Stuff marketed as sea salt does not.

    Short answer is No

    Most all salt on Earth was originally part of rocks that broke down to minerals and carried into the oceans via rivers.
    There is a place called salt springs in the Sierra Nevada mountains where salty water come out of a solid granite mountainside and native peoples used to collect the water in puddles and harvest the salt after the water evaporated .

    Canning salt is pretty pure....you do not want additives.

    Whether salt is mined from ancient sea beds under the city of Detroit, the Appalachian Mountains, or the Himalayan Mountains; extracted from salt domes along the Louisiana coastline, or solar evaporated from the Atlantic or Pacific oceans – all salt comes from the sea!
