Whats Tims recipe for homemade gatorade ?
Tim shares his recipe for homemade gatorade. It makes about two liters. Cost about .25 per bottle if you buy the unsweetened flavoring when it goes on sale for 10 cents a pack. In one 2-liter bottle, add: • 8 tablespoons sugar • 3/8 teaspoon table salt (sodium chloride) • 1/8 teaspoon salt substitute (potassium chloride) • 1/2 packet unsweetened koolaid (store brands work just as well) Fill bottle 3/4 full with water and shake to mix well. Pour half of mix in second bottle then top off both bottles with water. At first you will find this mixture to be heavy on the sugar. I have gotten used to it, but I still chase it with a swig of clear water. I also adjust the salt content based on temperature. I use more salt for hotter days. I always carry a bottle of clear water in addition to a bottle of this home brew.
