- Difficulty
- easy
Ingredients
2 items- Aloe Vera LeavesUse leaves from a plant at least 2 years old for juice; younger leaves can be used topically only.
- Freshly Squeezed Orange JuiceEnough to balance the gelatinous texture and bitter taste of aloe.
Method
- Select aloe leaves from a plant at least 2 years old.
- Cut off the tip and the spiny lateral edges of each aloe leaf.
- Let the cut leaf stand upright for about 30 minutes, allowing the yellowish aloin to drain out. Wipe it off with a paper towel.
- Insert a spoon between the skin and the pulp at the base, then slide it along to separate the skin from the pulp.
- Remove the skin completely and scrape any remaining pulp from the skin.
- Place the translucent aloe pulp into a blender and blend briefly to break it up.
- Add freshly squeezed orange juice to the blender.
- Blend again until the mixture becomes liquid and smooth.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
