25.5 oz watermelon
4.5 Tbsp evaporated cane sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups hot water
14 Tbsp lime juice

- Add lime juice and stir to combine.
Notes: Sports drinks provide a strategic amount of carbohydrates to support exercise performance and fluids. They also replenish electrolytes to support proper hydration. Choose a sports drink when exercising for longer than an hour, if the environment is very hot, and/or if your perspiration is salty and heavy.
