Print Recipe

A simple, natural sports drink made with lemon juice, honey, sea salt, and water to provide hydration and steady energy without artificial ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (1 liter) filtered or spring water
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice, strained
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) raw honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut water

Instructions

  1. Juice the lemons: Cut fresh lemons in half and squeeze out 1/4 cup (60 ml) of juice. Use a strainer to catch seeds and pulp if you prefer a cleaner drink.
  2. Warm a small amount of water: Take about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of your filtered water and warm it slightly to help dissolve the honey and salt.
  3. Dissolve honey and sea salt: In the warmed water, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of raw honey and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Whisk or stir vigorously until fully dissolved.
  4. Combine all ingredients: In your pitcher or mixing bowl, pour the remaining 3 1/2 cups (880 ml) of cold water. Add the lemon juice and honey-salt mixture. If using, add grated ginger and coconut water now.
  5. Mix well: Stir everything thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust by adding more honey if too tart or more lemon juice if too sweet.
  6. Chill or serve immediately: Drink right away or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for a refreshing coolness.

Notes

Warm a small portion of water to dissolve honey and salt properly. Do not skip the salt as it replenishes electrolytes. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste. Can be shaken in a sealed bottle for quick mixing. Store refrigerated up to 3 days. Avoid freezing.
