Easy Pink Lemonade

Summer may be winding down, but it is definitely still HOT!  And hot weather calls for a refreshing drink.

This pink lemonade only takes minutes to make.  It is free of anything artificial.  And a simple addition of sea salt turns it into a hydrating homemade sports drink.

You can make a single cup or a big pitcher.  I usually make a 1/2 gallon at a time.  It doesn't last long in my house.

Ice cold pink lemonade on a hot summer day.  It's good.

Easy Pink Lemonade
makes 1/2 gallon

6 1/2 cups water
1/3 - 1/2 cup lemon juice*
1/4 - 1/3 cup grape juice
1/2 cup organic cane sugar, sucanat or coconut sugar* (you can also use honey or maple syrup, but it will change the flavor a bit)
1 tsp. unrefined sea salt* (optional...makes it very hydrating)
ice

Combine all of the ingredients in a 1/2 gallon container.  Mix well, allowing the sugar to dissolve.  Adjust the lemon juice and grape juice to taste.  Refrigerate.
