Harvest the gel
Wash the aloe leaf well. Cut off the spiky edges on both sides, then slice the leaf open lengthwise. Scoop out the clear aloe gel with a spoon, avoiding any yellow sap (which can be irritating).
Blend
Place 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe gel into a blender with cold water, lemon juice, and honey if using. Blend until smooth.
Strain and serve
Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a glass for a smooth drink. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and maximum benefits.
Optional Tip:
For a refreshing twist, add a few mint leaves or a pinch of ginger before blending.
