Ingredients
Electrolyte Drink Ingredients
- 3 cups unflavored coconut water
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon Redmond’s real salt or Himalayan salt
- 1 lime, juiced (optional)
- 1 can or bottle sparkling mineral water (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the coconut water, freshly grated ginger, honey or maple syrup, salt, and lime juice if using. Blend all the ingredients together for about 1 minute until well combined and smooth.
- Strain Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a larger storage container to remove the ginger pieces, ensuring a smooth beverage.
- Serve and Top Up: Pour the strained electrolyte drink over ice in serving glasses and top off each glass with approximately 2 oz of sparkling mineral water or to your preferred amount for added fizz and refreshment.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
- The lime juice is optional but adds a lovely citrus tang that complements the ginger and coconut water.
- The sparkling mineral water adds a refreshing fizz but can be omitted for a still drink.
- This drink is best served chilled and consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, you can steep the grated ginger in coconut water for 10 minutes before blending.
