Aloe Vera Beverage/Minuman Lidah Buaya






Aloe vera in Indonesian Language is lidah buaya, meaning croc tongue. Does a croc has tongue? Funny name.
When I was kid, the only usage of aloe vera was for the growth of the hair. But later they found out that this plant also can be consumed and is good for skin and hair, and can prevent cancer as well.
I have tried out this recipe, it tastes great, though I didn’t eat too much worry I might allergic to it. Who knows?


Ingredients :

5 aloe vera big leaves, peel the leaves, take the white gelatinous part only
1 ripe mango, diced
Passion fruits syrup, or any syrup of your choice
1 can of canned longans, drain the syrup
Diced jack fruits
Sugar
Salt
Ice cubes

Methods :

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add the peeled aloe vera leaves, and boil for 5 to 6 minutes, drain.
Cubed and boil them again once more for 5 minutes. Drain.
Add sugar to the cooked and drained aloe vera. Set aside.
Prepare the fruits and the syrup. Add in the aloe vera and ice cubes.
Enjoy!
