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
