Look at the Recipe
- Sensory Appeal: A crisp, pale amber tonic that looks as refreshing as a high-end spa water.
- Flavor Highlight: A bright, zingy citrus punch balanced by a subtle savory undertone and a warm ginger finish.
- Key Benefit: Supports electrolyte balance and healthy digestion using mineral-rich pink salt and raw apple cider vinegar.
Ingredients Needed
- 24 ounces filtered water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (with “the mother”)
- 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
How to Make Our Himalayan Pink Salt Electrolyte Drink
- Measure your filtered water into a large mason jar or a BPA-free water bottle.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Ensure you shake the vinegar bottle first to incorporate the beneficial enzymes from “the mother.”
- Whisk in the pink Himalayan salt and ground ginger. If using a bottle, secure the lid and shake vigorously until the salt crystals have fully dissolved.
- Taste and adjust. If the ginger is too sharp, you can add a splash more water to mellow the flavor profile.
- Sip slowly throughout the morning or during a fasting window to maintain hydration and support your weight loss goals.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Storing: This drink is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick shake before drinking as the ginger may settle at the bottom.
- Freezing: You can freeze this mixture into ice cube trays. Pop a few “electrolyte cubes” into your regular water for a slow-release flavor and mineral boost.
- Serving Pairings: This tonic is excellent when consumed alongside a high-protein breakfast or as a palate cleanser before a fiber-rich lunch.
Tips & FAQs
Can I use regular table salt instead of pink salt? While you can, pink Himalayan salt is preferred for this healthy recipe because it contains trace minerals that standard refined table salt lacks.
When is the best time to drink this? Most users prefer drinking this tonic first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or about 30 minutes before a meal to help support digestion and glucose response.
Is this drink okay for intermittent fasting? Yes. Because the caloric content is negligible (under 10 calories), this drink generally does not break a fast and can actually help manage hunger during fasting windows.
Can I add a sweetener? To keep this strictly focused on weight loss and metabolic health, we recommend skipping sugar. However, a drop or two of liquid stevia or monk fruit can be added if you find the vinegar too tart.
