Ingredients
- 2 tbsp white wine vineagr
- 2 cups filtered water
- 10 ounce aloe vera leaf
- 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 - 2 tbsp agave syrup or honey, to taste
- 2 cups filtered water
Instructions
Prepare the aloe vera leaf
- First, combine the vinegar with the water in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside.
- Next, wash the leaf well, making sure there is no dirt or dust on the surface.
- Then, slice off about 1 1/2 inches from the top and bottom of the leaf. Slice off the edges of the leaf, starting at the thicker bottom part. This should remove the thorny sides.
- Next, peel away the top green leaf. You can try with your hands or use a sharp knife to slice them away.
- Scrape off the aloe vera gel from the bottom green leaf using a large spoon. It looks like a long, thick, transparent gel sheet.
- Place the gel into the bowl of vinegar water. Rinse it well to remove all the yellow gel (aka aloe latex). There shouldn't be any yellow or green rind on this gel. You only want the transparent gel "sheet."
Make the aloe vera juice
- Combine the transparent aloe vera gel with the lime juice, sweetener, and water in a blender jug.
- Blend the ingredients until it is completely smooth and becomes frothy.
- Serve the aloe vera juice immediately with or without ice. You can also use it in many other recipes if you'd like.
