ALOE VERA JUICE WITH LEMON RECIPE

Recipe Category: South Indian | Beverages

Preparation Time: 5 minutes Serves: 1 cup

Ingredients:

Aloe Vera leaf - 1, fresh,washed clean

Sugar - 2 tbsp

Lemon Juice - 1/2 tbsp

Water or Chilled Water - 1 cup

Method of Preparation:

Cut one aloe vera leaf and wash well. Cut the sides of the leaf. Cut through in the centre and scoop through the aloe vera gel. Put the aloe vera in strainer and run through running water for few minutes or nearly 5-10 times till the aloe vera latex is removed and the aloe vera is not sticky as it was initially while taking out (The yellow colour is latex which is unsafe to consume). Blend well the aloe vera along with sugar, lemon juice and water. Consume immediately after chilling for 30 minutes. 

Notes:

• Fresh aloe vera is best. Make sure the yellow extract is completely removed. To ensure, once the yellow latex is removed the aloe is not sticky. 
• You can also consume fresh aloe vera without juicing. 
• Its best to skip using sugar, but I add it when preparing for my family. Even without sugar it tastes good for me. 
• Use chilled water so you can consume immediately.
