I forgot where I found this.

Lemon-orange sports drink

Water
1 caffeine-free lemon tea bag
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons orange juice

Bring 16 ounces of water to a boil. Steep lemon tea bag. Dissolve sugar and salt in the tea and let cool. Combine the tea and orange juice and chill.

Nutritional info per 8 ounce serving: 60 calories; less than 1g protein; 15g carbohydrates; 130mg sodium; less than 1g fat

Although you won't taste it, a scant amount of sodium is added to the recipe to help keep you better hydrated. Working out for long periods of time without adequate sodium levels can cause the blood sodium levels to drop to dangerously low levels. Drink this homemade concoction before, during, or after working out.
