Equipment

  • 1 drinking glass or a compact mixing bowl
  • 1 teaspoon (used for measuring both salt and honey)
  • 1 mixing spoon
  • Knife and cutting board (for adding herbs or slicing fruit) optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon finely ground authentic Persian blue salt
  • 1 cup of water either at room temperature or chilled
  • A splash of fresh lemon juice can be added to enhance both the taste and the alkalinity.
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, to add a touch of sweetness
  • A few 2-3 fresh mint leaves, optional, for an invigorating touch

Instructions
 

  • Fill a glass or mixing bowl with 1 cup of water.
  • Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Persian blue salt and mix thoroughly until it fully dissolves.
  • Optionally, incorporate a few drops of lemon juice and mix well.
  • To create a sweeter beverage, incorporate 1 teaspoon of honey and mix well.
  • Top with mint leaves if you prefer a refreshing taste.
  • Pour and serve right away. Include ice cubes if you enjoy it cold.

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.
