Aloe Vera Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large aloe vera leaf
• 1 cup water (or coconut water for added flavor)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
• Juice of 1 lemon (optional, for flavor and detox benefits)
• A few mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Harvest the Aloe Vera Gel:
   • Cut the aloe vera leaf from the plant and rinse it thoroughly to remove any dirt.
   • Slice the leaf lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the clear gel inside, avoiding the green outer skin, which can be bitter and may cause digestive discomfort.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
   • In a blender, combine the aloe vera gel with 1 cup of water (or coconut water).
   • Add honey and lemon juice if desired.
   • Blend until smooth and well combined.
3. Strain (Optional):
   • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp.
4. Serve:
   • Pour the juice into a glass over ice and garnish with mint leaves if using.
   • Enjoy fresh for the best taste and health benefits.

Tips:

• Drink aloe vera juice in moderation, as too much can lead to digestive issues.
• Aloe vera is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe the gut lining.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness and flavors to your liking! Enjoy your gut-friendly drink!
