Lemonade made with Electrolytes
This lemonade tastes so good and it's good for you. With the addition of a little bit of salt, it becomes a thirst quenching electrolyte drink that will help you stay hydrated on a hot summer day!
Equipment
- Juicer recommended
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups lemon juice (this is about 5 large lemons)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 5 cups water
Instructions
- Clean your lemons in a water/vinegar bath for 10 minutes.
- Rinse, slice long ways into quarters, and peel the lemons to prepare for juicer. If you are squeezing them by hand don't slice into quarters or peel, instead slice in half and juice on your hand press.
- Pour 1.5 cups lemon juice into your container.
- Add ¼ tsp salt and 1½ cups powdered sugar to the lemon juice and mix until fully combined.¼ tsp salt
- Add 5 cups water and mix well.
- Refrigerate to cool or serve immediately over ice!
Notes
- I use powdered sugar for this recipe because it dissolves into the liquid so much faster. If you are using granulated sugar, let the lemon juice, salt, and sugar sit for a longer period before adding the water. Mix occasionally to help break down the sugar. Then add the water after the sugar is fully incorporated.
- If you are making this for a lemonade stand I use the following measurements to get 42 cups of lemonade which is about 2½ gallons:
- 9 cups lemon juice
- 9 cups (1080g) powdered sugar
- ¾ tsp salt
- 30 cups of water
