    If you wanna save money from buying Gatorade? Sprinkle a tad bit of salt in tap water. That’s the amount of electrolytes the average person uses. If you need a little flavor then squirt a bit of mio.

      The recipe for oral rehydration solution, the Gatorade base, is 1 liter water, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2T sugar. Shake to mix.

      You can add OJ, lemon and/or lime juice, kool-aid powder, mio, crystal light, etc. for flavor.

      The Italian version is sparkling water, juice of a lemon slice, and big dash of salt.
