Homemade Bulk Electrolyte Drink Based On LMNT Recipe

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through creating a homemade bulk electrolyte drink based on the LMNT recipe. This drink is perfect for hydration and can be made in large quantities. The tutorial will cover both a 30-serving supply and a one-gallon batch, making it easy to prepare and store.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

To make your electrolyte drink, you'll need the following ingredients:

• Salt (preferably Redmond's Sea Salt)
• Potassium Chloride
• Magnesium Malate

Measurements for 30 Servings

• Salt: 5 tablespoons
• Potassium Chloride: 2 teaspoons (400 mg per serving)
• Magnesium Malate: 7.5 teaspoons (1/4 teaspoon per serving)

Measurements for 1 Gallon

• Salt: 3 teaspoons
• Potassium Chloride: 3/8 teaspoon (2.4 grams)
• Magnesium Malate: 1.5 teaspoons

Step 2: Mix Ingredients

1. Combine the Ingredients

   • In a large bowl or container, combine the measured salt, potassium chloride, and magnesium malate.

2. Ensure Even Mixing

   • Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. For best results, consider using a coffee grinder to blend the ingredients finely.

Step 3: Storing the Mixture

• Storage Options: Transfer the mixed electrolyte powder into an airtight container or Tupperware for storage. This keeps it fresh and prevents moisture from affecting the mixture.
• Serving Size: For one serving, use approximately 4 grams of the mixture, which is just under 1 teaspoon, and dissolve it in 16-32 ounces of water.

Step 4: Flavoring Your Drink

• Flavor Options: You can enhance the taste of your electrolyte drink using water enhancers like Mio or True Lime. These options are convenient and can be adjusted based on your taste preference.

Step 5: Using the Mixture

• Preparation: When you're ready to enjoy your electrolyte drink, simply mix the required amount of the electrolyte powder into your water.
• Shake Well: Shake or stir the drink to ensure the powder is fully dissolved.

Practical Tips

• Portion Control: If you prefer individual servings, consider measuring out portions into small containers or cups with lids for on-the-go hydration.
• Invest in a Scale: For precise measurements, especially for potassium chloride and magnesium malate, a micro-scale can be very helpful.

Conclusion

Creating a homemade bulk electrolyte drink is cost-effective and straightforward. By following these steps, you can enjoy a refreshing and hydrating drink that rivals store-bought options at a fraction of the cost. Experiment with flavors and serving sizes to find what works best for you. Happy hydrating!
