It's hot out there & you need to stay hydrated! But you don't want to load on the extra sugar and additives that come with most sports drinks...
This is what inspired my to develop my 'Mama's Lemonade' Recipe 3 years ago after researching what electrolytes are:
Essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium—that carry an electric charge when dissolved in water
~ and why they're important:
Electrolytes help our bodies to absorb water and vital nutrients, regulate body functions and stay hydrated.
These hot days are important ones for us to hydrate well.
So I'm sharing my Recipe for Mama's Lemonade. It takes about 5 minutes to make!
Ingredients
● 1 1⁄2 cups warm water
● 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon
juice
● 1 tbsp honey
● 1⁄2 tsp sea salt
Preparation:
1. Turn on your kettle and heat up some
filtered or tap water to boiling or just
below.
2. While the water comes to temperature,
use your hands or a squeezer to juice 1
lemon into a mug or heat-resistant glass
(this typically yields about 2 tbsp of
lemon juice but if you end up with more,
feel free to save it for another recipe or
use it to make a bigger batch)
3. Then measure 2 tbsp of honey and add to
the lemon juice. (local, raw is best)
4. Next, add 1⁄2 tsp of sea salt and stir.
5. When the water has warmed to a
temperature that suits you, pour about a
cup and a half of it over your
lemon-honey-salt mixture and stir again.
If piping hot, give it a few minutes to cool
down.
6. Enjoy Mama’s Lemonade!
* For 4 servings, use 6 cups of water, 8 tbsp of
fresh squeezed lemon, 4 tbsp of honey and 2
tsp sea salt.
Want a real treat? Try using Blood Orange Juice instead of (or in addition to) Lemon Juice... it's delicious as we learned at the MGW 1 Year Anniversary Celebration :) Thanks to those who joined ;)
