Ingredients

• 1/8 tsp sea salt

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1–2 tsp Honey House Clover Honey

Equipment

• Glass or shaker bottle

• Spoon or small whisk

• Citrus juicer (optional)

Pro Tips

1. Mix Warm, Drink Cold: Use slightly warm water to dissolve the honey easily, then add ice if you prefer it chilled.

2. Adjust Sweetness: Start with 1 teaspoon of honey and increase to 2 if you want extra quick carbs for recovery.

3. Go Fresh: Fresh lemon juice adds natural potassium and much better flavor than bottled.

4. Add Minerals: A pinch of sea salt is essential — it replaces sodium lost during sweat.

5. Batch It: Make a larger batch and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours for grab-and-go hydration.

Instructions

1. Add the water to a glass or shaker bottle.

2. Stir or shake in the sea salt until dissolved.

3. Squeeze in the juice of one fresh lemon.

4. Add 1–2 teaspoons of Honey House Clover Honey and stir well until the honey fully dissolves.

5. Taste and adjust sweetness or citrus as needed. Drink immediately after your workout for best results.

Storage Tips

• Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

• Shake before drinking, as natural ingredients may settle.

• Do not freeze — this alters the flavor and texture.

Recipe Notes

This hydrating drink relies on a simple balance of water, salt, citrus, and raw honey to replenish what your body loses during exercise. The lemon provides natural potassium, the sea salt restores sodium, and the honey gives quick-access carbohydrates that help replenish glycogen stores without artificial sugars.

Using Honey House Clover Honey adds more than sweetness — it provides trace minerals and antioxidants thanks to its 100% raw, unfiltered, American-sourced quality. Because it’s never heated or processed, the natural enzymes and nutrients remain intact, making it a powerful recovery ingredient.

Perfect Pairings

Enjoy this homemade electrolyte drink with:

• A post-workout snack like Greek yogurt and berries

• A banana or apple with nut butter

• A light protein smoothie

• Hard-boiled eggs and avocado toast

• A simple granola bar or trail mix
