How to Make Your Own Aloe Vera Juice

We receive a huge number of inquiries about making aloe vera juice at home from aloe vera plants.

(Realize that it's more expensive to make your own aloe vera juice juice from plants at home, unless you have a sizeable plot of mature aloe vera plants that are growing freely in a climate where there is no snow, winters are very mild, and at least 300 days of the year are sunny. Your best option, short of this, is to purchase a quality aloe vera juice from a reliable manufacturer such as Forever Living Products, International.)

First it's important to understand that not all aloe plants are the same.  You only want to extract the gel from Aloe Barbadensis Miller plants.  These plants must be mature (3 to 4 years of age) and grown outside year-round in a semi-tropical climate (such as the frost-free areas of southern United States) for the fullest aloe vera juice benefits.

Then it's important to keep in mind that the inner gel (the part you use to make aloe vera juice) oxidizes very rapidly.

What is oxidization?  In a nutshell, it's this:  When you bite into an apple it will start to turn brown within several minutes.  Likewise, when you cut into a potato the inner flesh will begin to brown within several minutes.  Both of these examples demonstrate the process known as "oxidation."  It's important to realize that in the case of aloe vera gel, oxidation breaks down many of the nutrients and beneficial compounds.  Not a good thing.

The only company to overcome the oxidation process by stabilizing their aloe vera gel minutes after it is removed from the outer rind is; therefore not surprisingly, the largest grower, manufacture and distributor of Aloe Vera Juice in the world.  (You can find their aloe drinks by clicking the link in the section above this page.)

For the person who wants to make their own aloe vera juice at home, just realize that you need to harvest the leaf and then immediately remove the rind and the yellow layer just under the rind (aloin) which, if ingested, may cause diarrhea and cramping.  (A good reason to be very careful.)

Once the rind and latex are removed (to be certain you have all the latex removed, with a knife scrape into the gel and remove thusly) you are left with the pure, translucent, inner gel (see picture to the right of the rind removed from the inner gel).

One way to help BRIEFLY stabilize the exposed gel - as well as to make it more palatable to drink in the form of aloe vera juice, is to then put the gel into a blender with either orange juice or grapefruit juice.  About two tablespoons of the aloe vera gel per glass of your favorite juice is sufficient to make a suitable aloe vera juice drink.

Some people rinse the freshly harvested and filleted gel with a watered-down vinegar solution to remove any remaining latex residue from their juice.

Keep in mind that it takes a lot of time and messy work to make your own aloe vera juice.  You also will go through a lot of plants for enough juice for a month.  The expense of making your own juice is not worth your time and money when you can get the highest quality aloe vera juice and skincare online (see Aloe Vera Juices).
