Homemade Electrolyte Drink

Step 1

Combine the measured amounts of water, coconut water, cherry juice (if you decide to use it), lemon juice, molasses, and salt in an iced tea pitcher or half-gallon glass jar.

Step 2

To mix the ingredients thoroughly, seal the jar with its lid and shake vigorously.

Step 3

Once the mixture is well combined, store the container in the refrigerator. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, allowing you to have a refreshing drink readily available whenever needed.

Step 4

If you're planning a long run, consider drinking 16 ounces of this hydrating concoction about 1 hour before you start running.
