Fresh Aloe Vera Ice Cubes: A Simple Recipe for Skin and Health
How to Store Fresh Aloe Vera for Maximum Benefits
Fresh aloe vera is packed with incredible benefits for skin care, hair loss prevention, stomach protection, respiratory health, and even cancer prevention. This recipe provides a detailed guide on the easiest and most effective way to store fresh aloe vera. By using ice cube trays, you can ensure you always have fresh aloe vera readily available when you need it.
Essential Ingredients- 4 fresh aloe vera leaves
- 1 ice cube tray
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the aloe vera leaves under running water to remove any dust or debris. Gently rinse them to avoid damaging the leaves.
Step 2
The edges of the aloe vera leaves have sharp thorns. Carefully trim these thorns off with a knife. Be cautious to avoid cutting yourself.
Step 3
Cut the thorn-trimmed aloe vera leaves into manageable pieces, suitable for your ice cube tray. Then, use a knife or peeler to remove the thick outer skin, revealing the clear, jelly-like flesh inside. Prepare this flesh for use.
Step 4
Fill each compartment of the ice cube tray with the prepared aloe vera flesh. It’s best not to overfill them; leave a little space for easier removal later.
Step 5
The aloe vera in the ice cube tray can be consumed fresh or blended with your favorite fruits or vegetables for a refreshing juice. Eating it fresh allows you to enjoy its unique crunchy texture and cool taste.
Step 6
Cover the filled ice cube tray with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer until completely frozen. This method allows for long-term fresh storage. For hair loss prevention, gently massage your scalp with a frozen aloe vera cube every evening – it’s highly effective!
