Homemade Electrolyte Drink Recipe

How to make it

---

• Warm about 1/2 c. of the water and place it in the bottom of a quart-sized Mason jar.
• Make sure it's not hot water, but warm enough to help the honey and sea salt dissolve.
• Mix the warm water with the honey and sea salt and until mostly dissolved.
• Add the lemon juice and remaining water (use cold water this time) to fill the top of the jar.
• Mix thoroughly and there you go!
• ============================
• The raw honey is naturally anti-microbial and great for infections.
• There may be a myriad of reasons for the dehydration, but in the case of illnesses, raw honey is my go-to sweetener because of it’s beneficial minerals and soothing properties. Also, the sugar content will help restore low blood sugar levels that are common after bouts of diarrhea or vomiting.
• Real, freshly squeezed lemon juice is a natural thirst quencher and helps fight fatigue. It is also great for fever reduction and a natural source of vitamin C.
• And finally, the amazing power of sea salt is what gives this drink an extra punch and is what aids in replacing the lost trace minerals and electrolytes. Make sure that you are NOT using regular ol’ table salt; which has been refined at high temperatures, is often bleached for uniform color, and contains almost no trace minerals. Sea salt contains all 92 of the vital trace minerals that our bodies need, so make sure to use pure, unrefined, high quality sea salt in order to make sure that you are truly replacing the minerals that are needed during re-hydration.
• I don’t technically worry about dosage when we have the stomach flu because honestly, you’ll know when they’ve had too much…
• This is a basic electrolyte replacement drink , so you don’t just need to use it when you’re sick – it’s ideal for workouts, traveling, and hot summer days.
• NOTE FOR BABIES: It is not recommended that you give babies under 1 year of age raw honey, so instead, I substitute palm sugar to sweeten the concoction. It has a very low glycemic index and is rich in Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc and Iron.
