It's important to start with clean hands and use clean tools to make sure the gel doesn't get contaminated.
The outer leaves are more likely to be mature. They'll contain plenty of fresh, healthy gel. Look for leaves around the outside of the plant, with bases growing close to the ground. Use a sharp knife to make a clean cut near the base.
Place the leaves upright in a cup to let the dark yellow resin drain out. The resin contains latex, which can be slightly irritating to skin. It's best to drain it out so it won't get into your gel.
Use a vegetable peeler to carefully peel away the green portion of the leaves. Be sure to cut through the inner white layer to the gel underneath. Peel off all of the skin on one side of the each leaf, leaving a canoe- shaped half filled with gel. If you have large leaves, it may be helpful to cut them into smaller pieces before peeling. Discard the skin as you go so it won't get mixed in with your gel.
The clear, soft gel is easily scoopable. Scoop it all out into a clean bowl until there's nothing left in the leaf half.
If you have a lot of gel and you want it to keep for a month or two, mix in 500mg powdered Vitamin C or vitamin E for every 1/4 cup of gel you have. Place the ingredients together in a blender and blend well. The gel will look foamy
