Horse Salt Trick Recipe
Horse salt trick recipe is a minimalist mineral tonic with a crisp lemon-citrus finish and a subtle earthy hue from beetroot powder. Ideal for hydration without added sugars, it balances trace mineral salts with fresh lemon and optional coconut water for potassium.
Equipment
- Shaker Bottle or Jar
Ingredients
Hydration Base
- 480 ml cold filtered water
- 240 ml coconut water optional, for potassium
Mineral Mix
- 1/4 tsp Persian blue salt or Celtic sea salt finely ground
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp beetroot powder
- 1–2 tsp raw honey to taste
- 2–3 ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Add water (and coconut water if using) to a shaker bottle or jar.
- Sprinkle in the salt and beetroot powder. Add lemon juice and honey.
- Seal and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until well blended.
- Taste and adjust: add more lemon, honey, or salt as needed.
- Add ice and rest for 2 minutes before a final shake and sip.
Notes
Start with 1/4 tsp salt per serving; reduce to 1/8 tsp if salt-sensitive. If beetroot clumps, pre-mix with warm water. Add lemon zest for extra aroma or swap in lime juice. Keep salt steady if batching or stacking servings.
