As always, I wish a very good evening to all my dear Hive friends. How are you doing? I hope you're all living well. Today, I'm excited to share with you how to prepare a delicious and refreshing drink. I'm using a leaf from the aloe vera plant that I’ve grown at home, combined with grapes to create a tasty beverage. Aloe vera drinks are quite popular in Sri Lanka, not only for their taste but also for their medicinal benefits. While aloe vera alone can make a refreshing drink, I've added a few grapes to enhance the flavor.
Following this recipe is incredibly easy, and the result is a delightful and nutritious drink. So, let's begin this wonderful culinary journey on the Amazing Drinks platform!
Required Ingredients..
🍀 A piece of aloe Vera.
🍀 Grepes 50g.
🍀 Some ice cubes.
🍀 Water
🍀 A pinch of salt.
🍀 About 2 1/2 tables of sugar..
Method of making...
First, cut a piece of aloe vera from the plant and set it aside for about 30 minutes. During this time, a yellowish liquid will drain out from the aloe vera, which can give a bitter taste if not removed. I’m referring to the middle part of the aloe vera, which is what we’ll be using. So, make sure to let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
In the meantime, peel the skin off the grapes and remove the seeds. Set the peeled and deseeded grapes aside for later use.
Next, after 30 minutes, take the aloe vera piece and remove the outer skin from one side. Then, using a spoon, scoop out the gel and set it aside.
Next, take a blender and add the grapes, aloe vera gel, sugar, a pinch of salt, and a few ice cubes into the blender cup. Blend everything until smooth.
After blending, add around 250ml of water and blend again. Once fully blended, strain the mixture using a sieve and pour it into a glass.
So, after preparing this, you can place it in the refrigerator and enjoy it chilled later. I made this in a small quantity, but you can adjust the ingredients as needed. You can also add a bit of lime juice to elevate the flavor even more, though I didn't have any limes at home to include. Additionally, be mindful of the amount of sugar you use. This drink pairs well with many dishes, making it a versatile and refreshing choice. I’ll be back soon to share another exciting drink recipe with you.
Thank you reading
Have A nice day.
