Directions
Gently heat the water and salt in a pot over medium heat. Keep stirring until the salt has completely dissolved, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Once that's done, pour in the cherry juice and lemon juice, then give everything a good stir to combine. Take the pot off the heat and let the mixture cool down a bit. When it’s no longer warm, pop it in the fridge and let it chill for around 4 hours. This will help all the flavors come together nicely.
Serving Guide

Storing Food Safely
Store the drink in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days for the freshest flavor. Shake well before serving if separation occurs.
