Make your Own Aloe Vera Gel from the Leaf

Step 1: Cut the leaf into sections (about 10-15cm)

Step 2: Cut off the serrated edges

Step 3: To peel of the grenn skin of the leaf, slide the knife just under the skin on the end of the stripe and slide the knife along the bottom edge of the skin down the whole length of the leaf. Stay close to the skin so you get as much gel as you can.

Step 4: Cut the tranparent parts in pieces, blend until smooth (consider the foaming) and strain (to avoid flacking when dry)

Step 5: Pour the gel into the clean storage container and refrigerate.

It will keep in the refrigerator for about a week
