The article outlines a method for making homemade electrolyte drinks, emphasizing the right quantities of key electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. For those who prefer DIY solutions over pre-packaged options like LMNT, it provides precise measurements. For a single serving, you need 2,500 mg of sodium chloride (1,000 mg sodium), 385 mg of potassium chloride (200 mg potassium), and either 390 mg of magnesium malate or 265 mg of di-magnesium malate (60 mg magnesium). To prepare larger batches, you can scale these amounts up to 75 grams of sodium chloride, 11.5 grams of potassium chloride, and 11.7 grams of magnesium malate for 30 servings. The article shares four popular flavor recipes for the electrolyte drink: Citrus, Raspberry, Orange, and Watermelon. Each recipe requires the same base electrolyte mix and suggests adding fresh ingredients like lime juice and fruit for flavor. The preparation is straightforward; just mix the ingredients with water and serve over ice. For efficiency, it suggests pre-measuring servings into containers, which simplifies the process, especially for those without a scale. For those lacking a kitchen scale, the article offers alternative volume measurements using teaspoons, though it cautions that these can be less accurate. It provides rough equivalents for sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and di-magnesium malate. You can mix these in bulk as well, although measuring each serving individually can be tedious. The emphasis is on the importance of maintaining proper electrolyte balance for better hydration and performance, particularly through adequate intake of sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
