2. Rinse the Gel
Place the extracted gel in a bowl of clean water and rinse it to remove any remaining latex residue.
3. Blend the Aloe Vera Gel
Add 2–3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel to a blender.
Pour in 1–2 cups of water (or coconut water for a tropical flavor).
4. Blend Until Smooth
Blend the gel and water for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
5. Add Flavor (Optional)
To enhance the taste, add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of lemon juice. Blend again for a few seconds.
6. Strain and Serve
Strain the juice using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining aloe vera pulp.
Pour the juice into a glass and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
How to Store
Store leftover aloe vera juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2–3 days for the best taste and nutritional value.

Start with small amounts (about 1/4 cup daily) to see how your body reacts, especially if you’re new to aloe vera juice.
Avoid drinking aloe vera juice in excess, as it may have a laxative effect.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, as aloe vera may interact with certain treatments.
