Instructions

1. Rinse the aloe leaf under running water, then pat it dry.
2. Trim both ends off the leaf and stand it upright in a tall container for 12–15 minutes so the yellow latex drains out.
3. Wipe away any latex left on the base. Cut the leaf crosswise into 2–3 inch pieces and soak them in clean water for 2–3 minutes.
4. Drain the water, rinse the pieces again in fresh water, and set them on a rack to dry.
5. Cut off the thorny edges on both sides of each piece.
6. Peel off the green rind on both sides with a small knife or peeler, leaving clear gel. Alternatively, slice each piece in half along the gel and scrape the gel out with a spoon, leaving the rind behind.
7. Check the gel is clear, with no yellow latex or green rind left, and remove any with a small knife. Rinse the gel in clean water to clear any remaining latex. Refrigerate in a glass container, for up to 2 weeks, or freeze.
8. Blend the required amount of gel with 3/4 to 1 cup water or fruit juice until smooth.
9. Strain into a serving cup, pressing the gel through with a spoon, then add more water or juice to get all the gel through. Discard any rind left in the strainer.
10. Add lemon juice, more water or juice to taste, and honey if using. Drink immediately.
