I was talking to a friend today and she said her hubby only drank water and Gatorade,but complained that Gatorade was too high to buy. I told her I'd see if anyone knew how to make a good substitute for it. Surely there's someone with a recipe. Thanks in advance.

I will give them all a try, as they vary quite a bit. As long as the family likes it, it's worth a try.

I live in Tunisia and they don't have koolaid or gatorade or any thing like that and I need to make some electolyte replacement drink. What would you suggest if there is only water, sugar, fruit juice, salt available? I will try the pharmacy and see if they have powdered or whatever potassium chloride so possibly I can have that but what if not yet I need the electrolytes.
Thanks.

Here is a very simple and very good recipe for MYO Gatorade

1 pkg kool-aid, flavor of your choice
8 tbs sugar
3/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp potassium chloride (Nu-Salt)
8 cups warm water

Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Cool and serve.

We make this and pour into old Gatorade bottles. It's quite good!

We just buy the powdered Gatorade (or even the store brand). Even the name brand is much less expensive than purchasing it in bottles. My husband even likes it less than full "strength" so it's even cheaper to make.

Homemade Gatorade #93652
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.
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

8 servings Change size or US/metric
Change to: servings US Metric

3 minutes 3 mins prep
Place all ingredients in a large pitcher or jug and stir or shake until well mixed.
Chill and keep refrigerated until used.
Note: Adjust sweetness to taste by adding (or in rare cases reducing) a little sugar since drink mixes can vary.

Recipe: Gatorade
1 package unsweetened kool aid (any flavor)
2 quarts water
1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tea. salt
1/2 cup orange juice

mix together, this equals the electrolyte replacement found in
many poular drinks on the market.
Great for hot summer.
