On Episode #7 of my series #SaunaKitnaSaunaHain where I show you hydrating beverages for the summer season, I am making Aloe Vera Juice from scratch.
You Will Need:
-1 Aloe Vera Stalk
-2 slices Cucumber
-Ice Cubes
-Juice of 1/2 a Lemon
-1/2 Cup Coconut Water
-1/2 tsp Black Salt (Kala Namak)
-Cucumber Slice for Garnish
Method:
1) Take a fresh Aloe Vera Stalk and rinse it completely, cut off the bottom and remove any excess residue on a plate and wipe off the end with a tissue.
2) Chop the stalk roughly into big pieces and then soak it in lukewarm to hot water for about 10 minutes so that the outer skin softens and it's easier to cut with a knife.
3) Cut off the outer skin of each piece of aloe vera and place back in the same bowl to soak for another 10 minutes so that it can blend easily.
4) After soaking for about 10 minutes, add all the aloe vera pieces without skin into the blender with about 1/2 cup of the soaking water to blend the aloe vera. Strain through a sieve and squeeze out excess juice using a spatula or spoon to press the pulp down.
5) In a glass, add 2 slices of cucumber at the bottom, then add ice cubes, 1/2 cup aloe vera juice, Juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 cup coconut water, 1/2 tsp black salt and mix well. Garnish with a cucumber slice and enjoy!
This drink is best consumed fresh. Save the remaining aloe vera juice by adding it to an ice tray and converting into ice cubes that you can use to cool off your skin during this summer heat!
