You don’t have to buy expensive garbage like Gatorade! You can make an electrolyte drink yourself and save money.
1 l water
0.5 TEAspoons normal salt
6 TEAspoons sugar or glucose
Warm everything together while mixing to dissolve the sugar, then allow to cool fully.
You can add some flavor when it has cooled. Lemon, or lime, or artificial flavor if you prefer…
Put it to a bottle, it’s ready to go.
Don’t give this to small kids without diluting, they cannot handle a lot of salt. For kids (under 1 year), adjust with water, rule of thumb it should taste like at most teardrop level saltiness. Over 1 year can drink as-is. If in doubt, give under one-year olds something from the pharmacy to get the salt amount correct.
