How to Make Fresh Aloe Vera Juice

Ingredients:

• 1 large Aloe Vera leaf
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon honey or lemon juice (optional, for flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Aloe Vera Leaf:
   • Carefully cut a large leaf from an Aloe Vera plant. Wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt.
2. Extract the Gel:
   • Place the leaf on a cutting board and cut off the spiky edges. Slice the leaf open lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the clear gel. Be sure to avoid the yellowish latex layer, as it can be bitter and may cause stomach discomfort.
3. Blend the Gel:
   • Add the extracted gel to a blender along with 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a bit of sweetness or added flavor, you can add honey or lemon juice.
4. Strain and Store:
   • Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp. Pour the juice into a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator.
5. Enjoy:
   • Your fresh Aloe Vera Juice is ready! Drink a small glass in the morning or as a refreshing beverage throughout the day.
