Hydrating Drink

This topic is all about making a refreshing and hydrating drink that is especially beneficial for ostomates. The drink is a simple blend of watermelon and lemon juice, with a touch of sugar for sweetness. Here's how you can enjoy and make the most of this delightful beverage:

1. Use a small "personal" watermelon, about the size of a large cantaloupe. Even if it's labeled as seedless, it might still have tiny seeds, which can be blended along with the flesh.

2. Save some extra chunks of watermelon for snacking. While the seeds are blended in the drink, they might not be suitable for baking.

3. Feel free to experiment with other types of melons like honeydew or Galia. Just make sure to remove the skin and seeds before blending to create a similar hydrating base.

4. If you have a large watermelon, you can portion it out to make multiple servings of this refreshing "cocktail."

5. Some people like to dry melon seeds and add them to multi-seed bread or baps for added nutrition and texture.

6. Ostomates often require more than just plain water for proper hydration. Here are some other options to consider:
- Coconut water, which is rich in natural electrolytes.
- St Mark’s Solution, an oral rehydration formula developed by St Mark’s Hospital, which can be particularly helpful.

Enjoy this simple and tasty way to stay hydrated!
