We had an aloe plant mishap last month & I was suddenly presented with 5 good sized aloe leaves. I decided to give them the ice cube treatment- I blended them up with just a tiny bit of filtered water and poured them into ice cube molds. Now, instead of throwing away the broken aloe, I have a mason jar full of these frozen aloe cubes. I’ve used them in smoothies, and, should there be a need, they’ll be perfect for a burn.

I plan to do the same with my basil.
