Best Homemade Gatorade Recipes

HOMEMADE GATORADE

Homemade Gatorade image

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.

My husband & son love Gatorade. Found a recipe in the Longview News Journal newspaper for it. Have been making it for years and it really saves a lot of money during the summer time.
