Ingredients

Drink

500 ml cold water

1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated

2 tbsp pure maple syrup

1 tbsp honey

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Notes

Sip every 15-20 minutes during runs where you typically feel queasy, or use as a recovery drink right after a hard effort. Fresh ginger is more effective than dried for anti-nausea purposes. Mince it fine or grate it on a microplane so it dissolves into the drink. Strain before pouring into your bottle if you do not want bits floating. Best within 24 hours.
