Ingredients

• 150 g of aloe vera pulp (from 1/2 of a large leaf)
• 300 g bee honey (acacia honey)

Materials

• - glass containers
• - spoon
• - knife

Preparation

• Prepare the ingredients. The aloe vera leaf must have a maturity of at least 3 years. It is washed well with cold water and the dry or blackened parts are removed. Untreated, raw honey is preferred.
• Extract the pulp from the aloe vera leaf.
  - Cut the thorny sides of the leaf with a knife.
  - Cut the aloe leaf into ~ 2 cm slices.
  - We put the aloe slices in a bowl with water for 30 minutes, to remove yellowish sap (latex), because some people , more sensitive, may have certain allergies, abdominal discomfort from this sap.
  - Remove the peel from the aloe vera slices with a knife (preferably ceramic) and thus obtain the pulp.
• The aloe vera pulp obtained will be cut into small cubes, ~ 0.5 cm, which we put in a jar!
• Add honey to the jar over the aloe vera cubes and mix well, preferably with a non-metallic spoon (wood / ceramic). We will notice how the honey thins very quickly.
• Close the airtight jar and leave to macerate for ~ 7 days, in a cool place away from light, or in the refrigerator!
