How to prepare Aloe Gel

You need:

• A cutting board
• A filleting knife
• An aloe plant
• A plate
• A cotton towel
• A sterile glass jar
• Fresh lemon juice

It is important to eliminate any unwanted bacteria, please make sure you use only clean tools and towels.

Only take leaves that are thick and deep green.The oldest and largest outermost leaves near the bottom of the plant are best as they contain a thick gel layer.

Cut the leaves. Cut close to the base of the leaf and slice away from the center of the plant.

Rinse the outer skin of the leaves. Now place the cut leaves in a bowl ‘standing up’ for 15 minutes or so. This enables the yellow, very bitter juice to drain out, which is found just under the surface of the leaf. This juice is a very powerful laxative, which can irritate the intestines!

Remove the saw-toothed edges and skin carefully. Place the concave side down on a cutting board. Now slice around the perimeter, then place the knife just under the top layer and peel it away. This will expose the Aloe gel in between. 

Remove the gel from the leaves and place it in a clean jar. Squeeze some lemon juice over it and shake the jar to coat equally.You can keep the Aloe Gel in a sealed jar in the fridge for one week.
