  How much honey to substitute for the sugar? Or Stevia? Sugar just cranks me up too much... Also natural apple cider vinegar has potassiums and other goodies... I've made a similar mixture using a tablespoon of NACV with my diluted fruit juices. Also have used a bag or two of mint tea for flavor. - 12/18/11

  This is my go-to recipe!! I have always gotten bloody noses in the heat, which my son inherited, and my husband always got heat headaches, which our daughter inherited. We now have a serving of this in the summer, or 2 servings if we were doing more activity, and we haven't been getting either. - 7/11/12

  Instead of adding sugar, why not use enough OJ to bring the sugar content to an equivalent level? Seems that would be much more of a healthy drink, and you would get some potassium out of it, that you will not get with the sugar. Just sayin...roughly 50:50 OJ:Water. The eat a salty cracker. - 4/13/16

  I have some weird food allergies, and can only eat a few fruits - do you think I could add apple, blueberry, pear or grapefruit juice instead of the orange juice and still have the same great benefits?

  Good choice or raw honey at 1/3cup instead of the sugar. Nutrients in raw local honey are beneficial, too. - 5/17/12

  Actually, I forgot to mention that I took this drink last while watching live sports on <a href="https://ghdsportsapk.ooo/">ghd sports android app</a> and felt very happy that I was also watching live IPL T20 that time and all my friends also enjoyed a lot. - 4/3/19

  This orange drink sounds great for me during my workouts. I am glad I ran across it now especially since we will soon be coming to warm weather. I will make this now since it sounds great especially to replace electrolytes. I go for blood work every two weeks to check my electrolytes. Thanks. - 3/13/18
