1. What do you need to prepare?

  • 2 fresh natural aloe vera leaves

  • 200g white sugar (adjust to your taste and family preferences)

  • 1.5 liters of water

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • Fresh lemon (to remove the aloe vera sap)

  • Pandan leaves (also known as screwpine leaves)

2. How to clean natural aloe vera properly

Step 1: Rinse the aloe vera leaves, trim off the sharp edges on both sides, then peel away the green skin to get the clear flesh inside.

Step 2: Cut the aloe vera into small cubes about 1cm thick. This helps keep the pieces firm and crunchy during cooking instead of turning mushy.

Step 3: Soak the cubes in water mixed with lemon juice and salt for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse several times until the slimy layer is completely removed.
