I have a huge aloe vera plant - it's very easy to grow indoors. I have used it for SMT's. It's more helpful to think of yourself as peeling the gel. With a small, sharp knife, I trim off the sharp points, both sides, then peel the rounded part, then lay the leaf flat on its flat side and run the knife just under the skin. You end up with a half tube of jello like goo. Smash that up and put it whereever. It does not keep. But you can take just one spear for your one SMT.
I've been thinking about trying to blend the spears, unskinned, and strain the skin out. But I'm not sure it's possible.
