We Googled Gatorade after realizing how much the cost of this product adds up. This is the result of much trial and error. The envelopes with non Kool-Aid drink mixes (like Wylers) are usually more like Gatorade. Kool-Aid seems to have its own distinct flavor. I often double the recipe to make a gallon jug. Fructose and citric acid might require going to a good health food store or brewing supply co. but yield a product more like the original. It is very good with the substitutions mentioned if you like the lemon flavor. Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unsweetened flavored drink mix (enough for 2 quarts) |
1/2 teaspoon table salt (sodium chloride) |
1/4 teaspoon salt substitute (potassium chloride; eg. morton salt substitute) |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup granular fructose (can substitute 1/4 cup plus 2 tbs. corn syrup) |
1/2 teaspoon citric acid (can substitute 2 tbs. lemon juice) |
water, to make 2 quarts |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a large pitcher or jug and stir or shake until well mixed. 2. Chill and keep refrigerated until used. 3. Note: Adjust sweetness to taste by adding (or in rare cases reducing) a little sugar since drink mixes can vary. |
