About the Recipe
Hydration is about more than simply drinking water. During exercise and throughout the day, your body also relies on electrolytes like sodium and potassium to support normal fluid balance, muscle function, and overall hydration. This refreshing homemade electrolyte drink uses simple ingredients to create a naturally flavored beverage that's perfect after a workout, during hot summer days, or whenever you want a flavorful alternative to plain water.
