I’m curious, how do you make your own ‘electrolyte’ drinks?

One quart Ball/Mason jar with a plastic screw on cap
Add:
1/8 cup (or to taste) lemon or lime juice. I use lime.[Optional]
1/2 tsp salt (like pink himalayan or Redmond, nothing with iodine - ‘old’ salt beds don’t have micro-plastics)
1/2 tsp Nu-Salt (potassium chloride)
1/2 tsp baking soda*

Add water to fill jar. If you use baking soda, there’s a bit of fizz reacting to the lemon/lime juice. You can also use a sparkling water like Deer Park - lemon or lime is good or just plain.

* A recipe I found online had baking soda in it - it ‘smooths’ out the acidity of the lime juice somewhat & I like that.

Dr. Ken Berry has a “ketorade” recipe ... I initially started with that.

The maker of LMNT (pronounced ‘element’) has a recipe you can make without buying their product.

Other people have recipes if you go online and search like ‘homemade electrolyte drink’. Pick one you think you’d like to try.
