It is possible to gain various benefits from aloe vera by combining it with your favorite tea. Aloe Vera is a well-known plant for its ability to help outer skin irritations help more quickly. However, ingesting is beneficial in different ways. Ingesting aloe vera helps relieve intestinal problems, stimulates the immune system, assists in lung-cancer prevention, reduces blood sugar levels for diabetics and reduces HIV infection.
Brew a cup of your desired flavored tea. Choose from black, herbal, or green tea.
Add 1 tsp. of aloe vera jelly to the cup of brewed tea. Squeeze the jelly from the cut leaves of the aloe vera plant if you want to have the freshest product.
Add honey to the aloe vera tea in order to sweeten it. The amount of honey you choose to use will be based off of preference. Stir the tea with your spoon until the honey melts to provide a thorough consistency.
