You might want to drain and rinse the cactus before adding it to the mix, otherwise it has a very slimy affect.

I love this stuff! I have made it for several parties and it always goes over very well. You should rinse off the cactus though, or atleast drain very well. Good stuff! Give it a try!

Larry did not like the slime caused by the aloe. Is cactus something I should eat since I can't have aloe?
