The Potent Ingredients

How to Prepare the Ginger and Aloe Vera Tonic

- 1 large ginger root
- 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel
- 1 cup of water or coconut water (for added electrolytes)
- Optional: Honey or lemon for added flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and chop the ginger root. Extract the clear gel from an aloe vera leaf, avoiding the green outer part, which can be a laxative.

- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to extract the liquid. Add honey or lemon if desired for taste.
