There are tons of ways to make a good natural aloe vera drink stay cool during hot days. Each one has its own unique flavor, but they’re all tasty and full of good stuff for our bodies. Let’s head to the kitchen and make it with GC Food!
1. Prepare the natural aloe vera
Preparing the natural aloe vera the right way is key to making your drink taste fresh and sweet, so make sure that you get rid of the yellow sap so it’s not bitter or slimy.
Start by adding a bit of lemon and salt to a bowl of water. Peel the aloe, cut into cubes or slices, and let it soak for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Next, rinse the aloe well to wash off all the sap. Then quickly blanch it in boiling water to take away any bitterness.
When blanched, transfer to a large bowl of ice water to keep it crunchy. All done! Now it’s ready to use in drinks.
2. Make aloe vera drinks
You can use the prepared aloe to make one of these cool, tasty drinks:
2.1 Aloe vera drink with rock sugar
This recipe requires just 3 ingredients - rock sugar, water, and pandan leaves, so it’s a great option for beginner cooks. Heat up a pot of water. When hot, add the rock sugar and adjust the sweetness, but don’t overdo it. The right amount keeps it cool and healthy.
After the sugar dissolves, add the pandan leaves and cook until fragrant. Then add the prepared aloe, cook for another 5 minutes before taking it off the stove. When cool, chill it in the fridge. The drink is best enjoyed when cold.
2.2 Aloe vera drink with monk fruit
Monk fruit is naturally sweet and super healthy. You’ve probably heard it can help cool you down, soothe a sore throat, and even support your lungs.
Since it’s already sweet, you might not need any extra sugar or just a little. Boil some water, cut the monk fruit in half, and scoop the inside into the pot. When it boils again, add the aloe vera and cook for 20 minutes. And that’s it! You get a refreshing drink that’s good for your skin, with lightly sweet monk fruit water and crunchy aloe vera that’s fun to chew.
2.3 Aloe vera drink with pear and red dates
Put the pear and red dates into a pot and cook. Once it boils, add natural aloe vera and rock sugar (adjust the sweetness to your family’s taste). Stir gently with a ladle until the sugar is completely dissolved, then turn off the heat.
Serve it in a glass and enjoy! Along with the crunchy natural aloe vera, the pear and red dates give the drink a nice natural sweetness and amazing smell.
