Beings I'm too cheap to order the ready made stuff online and pretty sure if I ordered bulk, that half of it wouldn't get used, I had a hare brained idea. I already buy magnesium and potassium tablets. So I took a mag and a couple potassium and tossed in a stainless spice grinder and turned it into powder. Poured it into a water bottle and WaLa, instant electrolytes. I didn't add salt this time. I already salt everything. May add about a 8th teaspoon of salt in the next bottle. Anyhow, it tasted just fine. Was alil cloudy and a teeny bit of grit in the bottom. Must not of dissolved all the way. 

Figured it wouldn't hurt since it's been kinda hot this week and sposta be next week. And I'm also too cheap to get an AC. 🙂

I purposely bought a DrinkMate instead of a SodaStream. A DrinkMate can carbonate literally anything. I can even revive flat soda and beer, lol.

Thanks I didn't know that. So what's the difference?

As far as what they do - nothing. In fact, I use the Soda Stream CO2 cartridges in my DrinkMate.

The DrinkMate though has this patented lid. The fizz infuser is built into the lid. After carbonating, there's a little button on the lid that you can gently press to let the pressure out slowly. This is why I can carbonate anything.

The Soda Streams don't have that. The fizz infuser simply dips into the liquid in the container, but it's not sealed at the top of the bottle. Therefore if you fizz something besides water, it will bubble over and make a mess.

In regards to electrolytes you should not use table salt of any kind because it contains sugar and the process which they make the caking agent as well is industrial crap.

Redmond real salt, single source  Himalayan and celtic sea salt is safest for our consumption.

I seldom use table salt unless that's all that's avail. At home I use Himalayan salt rocks and grind my own.
