Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons fresh aloe vera gel (scraped from the leaf) or 1 tablespoon store-bought pure aloe vera gel
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 1 cup warm or room-temperature water
- Optional: squeeze of lemon or a few mint leaves for flavor
Instructions:
- Wash the aloe leaf and cut off a 2-inch section.
- Carefully remove the outer green skin with a knife to extract the clear inner gel.
- Rinse the gel thoroughly to remove any bitter latex.
- Blend the gel with water and honey until smooth.
- Drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Tip: If you’re using store-bought gel, make sure it’s pure, food-grade aloe vera, with no added chemicals or preservatives.
Precautions:
- Avoid consuming aloe latex (the yellow part under the skin) — it can cause cramping or diarrhea.
- Start with small amounts (2–3 times/week) to see how your body responds.
- Consult your doctor if you’re pregnant, nursing, or on medication.
Final Thought:
Drinking aloe vera water with honey is more than a wellness trend — it’s a self-care ritual rooted in ancient healing. With just a few sips a day, you’ll nourish your body, energize your cells, and glow from within — naturally and powerfully.
