How to Make Aloe Gel:
First of all wash your hands...

Slice off an outer leaf of an aloe plant. The outer leaves are more likely to be mature. They'll contain plenty of fresh, healthy gel. Look for leaves around the outside of the plant, with bases growing close to the ground. Use a sharp knife to make a clean cut near the base.....

Since aloe vera gel is perishable, it's best not to make a huge batch at once, unless you plan to give some away. Cutting off just a leaf or two, especially if they're large, should be sufficient to make 1/2 to 1 cup of gel...

If your plant is young, be especially careful not to cut off too much at once. Cutting off all of the outer leaves could damage the plant...Before making your own aloe gel, it's important to store the aloe stalks in water so that they release their aloin....

This substance can be toxic, so you don't want it in your gel...Once you’re ready, remove the side spines and place them in a bowl of water for at least 24 hours. Change the water every 3 to 4 hours so that each stalk releases a substance known as aloin....

Which could be toxic if it stays in the stalk...After 24 hours have gone by, remove the stalks from the water and extract the pulp. Then continue with the gel preparation...Peel the leaves. Use a vegetable peeler to carefully peel away the green portion of the leaves.....

Be sure to cut through the inner white layer to the gel underneath. Peel off all of the skin on once side of the each leaf, leaving a canoe-shaped half filled with gel...If you have large leaves, it may be helpful to cut them into smaller pieces before peeling...

Discard the skin as you go so it won't get mixed in with your gel...Consider mixing the gel with a natural preservative. If you have a lot of gel and you want it to keep for a month or two, mix in 500mg powdered Vitamin C or 400 IU vitamin E for every 1/4 cup of gel you have...

Place the ingredients together in a blender and blend well. The gel will look foamy at first...Place the gel in a sterilised, clean glass jar. If you used the preservative, the gel will keep for several months in the refrigerator. Without it, it will keep for a week or two...

Use the gel. Apply it to sunburns or other minor, surface burns. Aloe can also be used as a skin moisturizer or an ingredient in homemade body products...Use Only a Glass or Plastic container to store it. Steel or any other metal must be avoided...end🌿
