How to Make Electrolyte Powder and Electrolyte Drinks, Sports Drinks, and Spa Water

Step 1

Mix the salt, potassium, and magnesium together, and store the mixture in an airtight jar.

Step 2

This powder is shelf-stable and should stay fresh based on the expiration dates of the potassium and the magnesium.

Step 3

Mix 1/2 teaspoon of the electrolyte powder with 32 ounces of water.

Step 4

You can consume this drink as is, or you can add additional ingredients to make a sports drink or spa water. (See below.)

Step 5

If you are not ready to consume your electrolyte drink, store your drink in the refrigerator in an airtight bottle. Your refrigerated drink will stay fresh for 3-5 days.

Step 6

Mix 32 ounces of the Basic Electrolyte Drink with 1/4 cup of juice. See "Recipe Notes" below for suggestions, but you can use any type of juice.

Step 7

If you are not ready to consume your sports drink, store your drink in the refrigerator in an airtight bottle. Your refrigerated drink will stay fresh for 3-5 days.

Step 8

Fill a 32-ounce jar with 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of fresh fruit, vegetables, and/or herbs and spices. (See the video for the fruit and vegetables that I use for my spa water.)

Step 9

Fill the jar to rim with your Basic Electrolyte Drink and cap the jar tightly.

Step 10

Place the jar in your refrigerator and allow it to steep for 4-12 hours. The longer the steep time, the more intense the flavor.

Step 11

Spa water is best consumed after steeping. However, you can strain out the fruit, veggies, herbs, and/or spices and store the strained drink in your refrigerator in an airtight jar. Your refrigerated drink will stay fresh for 3-5 days.
