Hi Dean! If you don’t have a blender, you can scrape the gel or try putting it in a colander and allow the gel to fall into a bowl, lightly pressing it with spoon. If you have a cheesecloth, you can squeeze it out.
The gel really leaks out of the leaf!
As for how long it lasts….out of the fridge, it will last up to 3 days. Make a batch and keep the bulk of it in the fridge. There is will last up to a month! So what you can do then, is fill up a small bottle and keep it out. Every couple days just refill it as you use it up.
The coconut oil will seperate and solidify in the fridge, but it melts very quickly after you take it out!
hope that helps!
Where can I buy/get an aloe leaf?
Hi Maggie! Are you in Singapore? I usually find aloe leafs sold in Fairprice Finest and Giant. Or, you can order online from our local farm: http://www.greencircle.com.sg/
Do check out plant nurseries too – aloe is so easy to grow and basically impossible to kill 🙂
