Rehydrate with Aloe Vera

Rehydrate with Aloe Vera, easy to make, nutritious and delicious. Watch here

If you do choose to grow your own aloe vera and harvest it for the gel and juice, remember to:

Cut your leaves close to the stalk, most of the beneficial nutrients are found at the base of the leaves.
Place the leaves in a jar (cut side down) to drain the aloin (the yellowish latex substance) unless you’re planning on using it
Wash and dry the leaves
If you’re planning on using the aloe for your skin, you can scoop the gel out with your fingers (or a sharp object) and apply directly to your skin.
You can also squeeze out the gel once you’ve trimmed the prickly edges of your leaf
Depending on the size of your aloe plant, 3-4 leaves should provide ½ to ¾ cup of aloe vera gel.
Cut the aloe gel into slices or cubes and refrigerate them ASAP
If you aren’t planning on using your leaf right away make sure to refrigerate it as well
