Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera juice is a translucent, mildly flavoured beverage made from the inner gel of aloe vera leaves. Commercial versions are typically sweetened and fortified with vitamin C, giving them a light, slightly tangy taste.

These drinks are widely available in Asian grocery stores and increasingly in mainstream Australian supermarkets. They often contain small pieces of aloe gel suspended in the liquid, giving them a distinctive texture. They’re generally consumed chilled as a refreshing drink rather than used as a cooking ingredient.

Aloe vera juice drinks originated in East and Southeast Asian markets, where aloe vera has a long history of use in beverages and desserts.
