Homemade Sports Drink – Gatorade substitute

You can make an inexpensive rehydration drink at home. Mix the following:

* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* ½ teaspoon table salt
* ¼ teaspoon salt substitute (potassium-based), such as Lite Salt or Morton Salt Substitute
* 2 tablespoons sugar
You may want to substitute Tang for the sugar for a little flavor. Measure all ingredients precisely. Small variations can make the drink less effective or even harmful. Don’t overload on this stuff. This recipe makes enough powder for 1 quart of water, make sure you dilute it properly, too much and you will feel ill.
