How to Store Homemade Electrolyte Drink

I love to make a double or triple batch of this hibiscus electrolyte drink and store it in the back of the fridge where it’s coldest. You can keep it in a pitcher with a tight lid or an airtight container like a Mason jar. Stored properly, the electrolyte tea will last 4-5 days.
