1. Cut the biggest leaves off near the base of the plant. Always cut at an angle, to heal the plant back.
2. Rinse it off in running water and pat it dry before you start cutting the leaf.
3. Slightly peel the edges of the leaf and cut them into two-inch sections. A large amount of gel and a yellowish liquid will start oozing out.
4. Scrape the gel out of the leaves with the help of a fork or a butter knife into a clean bowl.
