[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1607358, member: 229"] Sure. Recently, I've started using: 4Qts Water 2x 2Qt Kool-Aid Packages (the $.20 ones without any sugar/sweetner in them - my favorites in this thing so far are lemon-lime, grape, lemonade, cherry, and fruit-punch) 1 cup of sugar (the normal amount called for is 1 cup per 2Qt package, so you can feel free to add more than 1 cup to your taste) 1/2 teaspoon Morton Salt Substitute (potassium Chloride / Fumaric Acid) 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder (sodium Aluminum sulfate / Acid phosphate of calcium) 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt (you can use sea salt, but its usually not iodized) I've only recently started using the fake salt from Morton (before I just used 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt). It tastes a little different to me since the recent change, but the kids still seem to love it. Basically, when you google recipes for this stuff, you get tons of folks doing different things - I tried to make sure I was getting all the right electrolytes and acids (wikipedia and a few other sources helped to enlighten me a bit), and so far this seems to be a good mix. I've read that you can add citric acid (and I've read that folks are using lemon or lime extract, but I don't think that contains nearly as much citric acid as the lemon-juice). So my next step is to go get some real lime (or lemon) juice and add it to the mix. The game this last weekend was Saturday at 1PM and it was around 98+ degrees (we had very little shade and my boys both had to get out in the sun early for warm-up and both played 3+ quarters of football in the heat). So far, we've stayed hydrated through the games and the running/practicing. [/QUOTE]
