natural electrolyte drink
🥣 Step-by-Step Mixing Instructions
Step 1: Liquefy the Honey 🍯
Because raw honey can be thick, it dissolves best if you mix it first. In a tall glass or shaker bottle, add the juice of 1 fresh lemon and 1 tablespoon of raw honey. Use a spoon or a small whisk to blend them together until the honey completely dissolves into the lemon juice.
Step 2: Add the Mineral Balance 🧂
Drop in your pinch of sea salt into the lemon-honey mixture and give it a quick stir.
Step 3: Pour the Coconut Water 🥥
Pour in 1 cup of chilled coconut water. Stir vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, or secure the lid on your shaker bottle and give it a solid shake until everything is perfectly combined.
Step 4: Chill and Serve 🧊
Drop in a few ice cubes, garnish with a slice of lemon or a few slapped mint leaves if you want to feel fancy, and sip away!
💡 Pro-Tips for Peak Hydration
