Homemade Gatorade
An easy homemade electrolyte drink you can make at home with simple pantry staples. Perfect for the hot summer months when you want to stay hydrated or when you are under the weather.
Equipment
- Large measuring cup
- Fork or reamer
- Strainer
- Whisk
- Bottle or jar
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt unrefined
- 1 orange
- ½ lemon
Instructions
- Measure 2 cups of water directly into a very large measuring cup or a bowl. (The spout on a measuring cup will be handy later when pouring the Gatorade into a bottle or jar.) Add the sugar and salt. Whisk together well until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
- Place a strainer over the measuring cup and squeeze in the orange and lemon juices. You can also strain out any pulp later when transferring into a bottle or you can even just leave the pulp in altogether.
- Transfer the Gatorade into a glass bottle or jar. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
You can easily vary the flavour of your Gatorade by using different fruit juices.
Substitute 1 cup of the water with coconut water for even more electrolytes.
