I'm researching DIY electrolyte drinks.
These recipes seem to be written by humans:
- https://www.popsci.com/diy/homemade-electrolyte-drink/
- https://extension.usu.edu/createbetterhealth/blog/electrolytedrinkrecipe
PopSci's recipe is simple:
* 8 ounces of coconut water
* 8 ounces of a fruit juice of your choice
* About 1/16 teaspoon of salt
It seems we want:
* sodium, the electrolyte you lose most thru sweat
* sugar / carbs, to help absorb electrolytes
* potassium?
The WHO recommends ratios but I don't know how to translate them to a recipe:

@skyfaller I made one that just had potassium and magnesium cuz I figured most ppl already get too much sodium anyway from american food. I used citrate salts from nutrition store. But also mine was not specifically for electrolyte, it was an energy drink
You can read nutrition facts labels to get good info on how much of what mineral is in stuff. Then match that up with how much "dose" you want in each liter of liquid
