Aloe Vera Juice in glass Aloe vera juice is a fantastic digestive aid with anti-inflammatory effects. It also works great to clean out impurities from the system because of its natural detoxifying and laxative effects. Making you own at home is better because the longer those brand-name bottles sit on the shelves, the quicker they lose their potency. Aloe vera is also one of the easiest plants to grow, so there's less of an excuse for not having them around! Here is how to easily make your own aloe vera juice at home with a blender.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

3 large aloe leaves, thorns sliced off
4 cups water

Steps:

Slice off the top green layer of the aloe leaf.

For thinner aloe leaves, use a spoon to scoop out the gel and place in a bowl.

For thicker leaves, use your knife to cut the block of gel out.

Add 3 cups of water to your blender.

Add aloe gel to the water.

Pulse for a couple of minutes. Make sure there are no lumps.

Enjoy as is or add to a fruit juice.

Hey, I just got this from another website. Thought you'd like it!

· Cut off 8-10cm from a leaf, then slice the cutting lengthwise.
· Scoop out the gel found in the centre, taking great care not to pick up any of the yellowish layer next to the outer skin which is bitter and has powerful laxative effects.

· Whisk one to 2 teaspoons of the fresh gel into 1 cup of fresh cold water or vegetable juice and take daily or several times a week for intestinal health.

I have just come from my health food shop where they sell aloe vera leaves and plants for making the juice. I have lots in my garden so want to use them.

The advice is to take a 8-10 cm leaf and let the brown juice drip out of it for 3 days (this is the laxative part that causes diarrhea). Next slit it in half and keeping away from the leaf scoop out the gel. Mix the gel with lemon juice and whisk in a food processor. Then drink or store as ice cubes for use later.

I haven't drunk it yet as I am waiting for the 3 days to be up. Will keep everyone posted. Meanwhile I looked at other sites and it seems the brown liquid or aloin from the aloe leaf must be removed, as it has extreme laxative effects.
