The Golden State Warriors' decision to ban commercial sports drinks and make their own with Himalayan sea salt inspired me to try my own--with less sugar. You can tweak this recipe to create your perfect formula.

Good. We like ours with a bit more fruit juice and a little simple syrup added. (I know, defeats the purspose but I have a crew of many I need to please). It is still plenty healthy but more palatable for everyone. Way less sugar than other drinks they would generally prefer. Awesome recipie, Chef John. Read More
