TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this aloe vera and lime infusion.
- Use High-Quality Aloe Vera Juice: Ensure it is pure and free from additives or artificial sweeteners for maximum benefits.
- Chill Ingredients Beforehand: Refrigerate the aloe vera juice and water before mixing to serve the drink extra cold.
- Adjust Citrus Levels: If you prefer a more tangy taste, increase the lime juice slightly.
- Enhance Hydration: Swap regular water for coconut water to add electrolytes and extra flavour.
