The whole crew has the sniffles, barking cough, and tickle in their throat this week so I thought now would be the perfect time to share my favorite electrolyte drink. This magical concoction is inexpensive to make, uses on-hand ingredients, takes about 5 minutes, and is delicious hot or cold! Easy to execute if you are sick and caring for a whole lot of sickies too.
Use this drink as a replacement for Pedialyte, any sports drink, or a blast of vitamin C for cold & flu season!
