Ditch the sugary sports drinks! This DIY electrolyte water is quick, affordable, and made with clean ingredients to help you hydrate naturally and effectively.
Equipment
- Measuring spoons
- Glass or bottle
- Spoon or stirrer
Ingredients
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp honey optional
Instructions
- In a large glass, combine the sea salt and baking soda.
- Add the lemon juice and stir until fully dissolved.
- Pour in the filtered water and mix thoroughly.
- Add honey if you want a sweeter taste.
- Taste and adjust — the drink should be slightly salty but not overwhelming.

Notes
You can substitute lemon juice with lime juice for variety.
Use coconut water instead of plain water for added potassium.
For a shelf-stable version, try the DIY electrolyte powder mix.
Avoid leaving the drink unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours.
