Aloe Jelly Drink

Blueberry Milk, Blueberry Latte, Blueberry Matcha

I found my new refreshing summer drink. I love it because you can change it to your liking and I love blueberries. I used fresh blueberries to make my blueberry milk but this would probably work with frozen as well and you could probably end up making a slushy drink. Puree the blueberries as smooth…
