refreshing electrolyte drink - featured image

A simple, homemade electrolyte drink using pink Himalayan salt and fresh citrus juices that is refreshing, hydrating, and free from artificial additives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice (about 1 medium orange)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 3 cups filtered water (cold or room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemon and orange on the counter to soften, then halve and juice them into a bowl or measuring cup. Strain if you prefer no pulp. (Takes about 5 minutes)
  2. In your pitcher, combine the pink Himalayan salt and honey (if using). Add about 1/4 cup warm water and stir vigorously until the salt and honey dissolve. (2 minutes)
  3. Pour the freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine with the salt-honey mixture. (1 minute)
  4. Add 3 cups cold filtered water and stir well. Taste and adjust by adding more water or honey if needed. (1-2 minutes)
  5. If desired, add 1/2 cup chilled sparkling water just before serving and stir gently to retain bubbles. (30 seconds)
  6. Chill the pitcher in the fridge for 15-30 minutes or serve over ice. Garnish with a lemon or orange slice if desired.

Notes

Dissolve salt and sweetener in warm water first to avoid gritty texture. Add sparkling water last to keep fizz. Use fresh citrus juice for best flavor. Store in fridge up to 24 hours. Adjust sweetness and saltiness to taste.
