Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup of water
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice optional
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh mint leaves optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by bringing 1 cup of water to a boil in a teapot or saucepan.
  2. While the water is boiling, carefully cut the aloe vera leaf to obtain the gel.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the aloe vera gel to break it down into a smoother consistency.
  4. Once the water has reached a rolling boil, remove it from heat and add the prepared aloe gel. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add honey or your chosen sweetener to the aloe tea, stirring until fully dissolved.
  6. If desired, stir in lemon juice and fresh mint leaves.
  7. Using a strainer, pour the tea into your cup or mug.
  8. Enjoy your Aloe Tea hot, or let it cool over ice for a refreshing drink.

Notes

For an extra refreshing version, chill the tea in the refrigerator and serve it over ice with a slice of lemon.
