Ingredients:
1 large aloe vera leaf (or 2–3 tablespoons store-bought pure aloe gel)
2 cups water
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or a few drops of lemon juice
Instructions:
Harvest the Gel: Cut a fresh aloe vera leaf and slice away the thick outer skin. Scoop out the clear gel with a spoon, rinsing thoroughly to remove any yellowish latex (aloin), which can be bitter or irritating.
Blend It: Add the gel to a blender with 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Flavor (Optional): Stir in honey or lemon juice for a tastier sip, if desired.
Serve and Store: Pour into a glass and drink immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Pro Tips:
Use fresh, organic aloe leaves for the best quality, or choose pure, food-grade aloe gel from reputable brands.
Start with 1–2 small servings (4–8 ounces) daily to avoid digestive upset.
Shake well before drinking if stored, as the gel may settle.
