Blue Salt Elixir Guide:
- Always opt for genuine Persian blue salt only, steering clear of any dyed or counterfeit versions. True blue salt exhibits natural color variations and is enriched with trace minerals such as magnesium and potassium.
- Tweak the salt quantity to your preference, but ensure it doesn’t exceed 1 teaspoon per cup of water. Excess salt can make the beverage unpalatable and lead to dehydration.
- If you prefer a bubblier version, you can swap still water for sparkling water—just avoid using warm water as it can affect the mineral composition.
- Try a small sip before serving. Adjust with additional lemon or honey to suit your taste preferences.
