Ingredients
- 1 large fresh aloe vera leaf
- 2 cups filtered or mineral water
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional, for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
- Harvest the gel:
Cut the aloe vera leaf near the base. Wash it thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice off the spiky edges and carefully peel away the green skin to expose the clear gel inside. - Extract the gel:
Scoop out 2–3 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel with a spoon. Be sure to avoid any yellowish latex residue, as it can be bitter and harsh on the stomach. - Blend:
Add the aloe vera gel to a blender with 2 cups of filtered or mineral water. Add lemon juice and honey if desired. - Blend until smooth:
Blend for 30–60 seconds until the gel is fully dissolved into the water. - Strain (optional):
If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. - Serve:
Pour into a glass. Enjoy immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
