Our Aloe Vera plant got pruned, so guess what that means!!!!!

IT’S ALOE VERA JUICE TIME

Step one: get the spikes off.

This is a pile of ooh, ahh:

And this is a pile of caution:

Uhhhhhhhhhh ok so never mind, I am not making aleo vera juice after all.

Because, uh. This is the first time I’ve made it??? So I was like “oh I’ll just Google it and see if I have to cut the dark green bit off or if I can just chuck the whole thing through the machine,” and. Thank goodness I checked. Cause a) yeah you do have to cut the dark green bit off, cause it’s HECKING TOXIC, but uh. More importantly??

Turns out there’s two primary sub species of aloe. One is greenish-grey and has no spots and is good for digestive health.

And the other has pale spots on it and is fantastic for treating sunburn and is, uh. Very toxic and shouldn’t be eaten.

That…. uh. That was a close call.

Here’s the two types, for anyone interested. The kind I have is the one on the left. Aka, the non-edible one.

Me, had I drunk my homemade toxic cactus-juice:

Delectable tea, or deadly poison…
