I do all the things you do with it, but after I skim the gel from the leaf I pop it into a cuisinart I keep just for my herbal uses and give it a whirl to help break down the fibers and whip it up. I also like to chill it in the fridge before use except in emergencies, you are right best used fresh as possible.Schnookumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358320962479686245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366190033110466608.post-69190072091941859202013-06-23T18:20:54.420-04:002013-06-23T18:20:54.420-04:00Really cool.
