  2. Cut the side throne portion carefully with sharp knife.
  3. Now comes the important part, where after removing thrones you will get yellow greenish very bitter stuff that has to be drained completely and cleaned before taking the edible Aloe Vera gel.
  4. You can slice them in to parts and soak in water for a while (say 5 minutes) to remove that yellow greenish stuff.
  5. Wipe with damp cloth and open up the top and bottom hard portion of the Aloe Vera leaf.
  6. Remove the white Aloe Vera gel gently out of it.
  7. This can be used to make detox.
  8. Now coming to the bottom tucked Aloe Vera gel, scrap with spoon or knife and remove those gels completely.
  9. This gel will have much bitterness so use this as hair gel (directly apply to hair) or as a face mask with honey and lemon juice.
How to make Aloe Vera Detox
  1. Now pulse extracted Aloe Vera gel, lemon juice, honey and plain water in a blender.
  2. That's it drink immediately in empty stomach.
  3. Once you made the juice use it immediately and dont store it to drink it later.
How to Store the leftover Aloe Vera Gel
  1. But you can store the leftover Aloe Vera Gel in an air tight container and in freezer till you use.
  2. Since we get lengthy leaves, its hard to use it in a day, so save the remaining for future use.
  3. Two hours before preparing the detox do bring the frozen gel to room temperature and make detox as mentioned earlier.
