I’ve been buying the big cans of gatorade powder lately because I’ve been busy and they are cheap. But they are still absurdly expensive for what is essentially just salt with food coloring and artificial flavor, and I dislike how much sugar it contains.
I use UNICEF’s official rehydration recipe all year round. It uses baking soda, potassium chloride and table salt. Add enough sweetener and a little powdered citric acid or lemon juice for palatability. Potassium chloride is often sold labeled as “salt substitute”. I stopped buying prepared powders years ago, I think the above tastes a little better. The citric acid helps balance out the pH.
Can you share the link for that resource? Seems like an incredibly important one. And do you have any similar recomendations?
UNICEF website, it’s called ORU, Oral Rehydration…something. It’s designed to be made out in the field for cholera and dysentery patients. Best I can do. Very similar to the recipe posted in this thread by another lemming.
ORS - Oral Rehydration Salts
Found some reading on it both on UNICEF and WHO websites.
Thank you.
UPDATE: I’m mixing that ORS with iced Yorkshire tea right now, just to prep to work outside. God bless all the Tartan Army in Miami, they should try this cultural appropriation.
There you are!
