Homemade Pedialyte

I recently heard from a friend that a good way to rehydrate yourself is via Pedialyte. I bought a bottle at the store and liked the taste but the price was a little high for something that I wanted to add regularly to my diet.

I did some research and I found a really great site that had a couple of recipes for homemade pedialyte (http://www.ourlittlemonkeys.net/2010/01/26/homemade-pedialyte/).

I gathered the bits to make the solution.

Water, baking soda, sugar, salt, and flavoring.

I doubled up the recipe from http://www.ourlittlemonkeys.net.

I used 8 cups of water and added 1 Tsp Baking soda.

I then added 6 Tbsp Sugar.

Next I added 1 Tsp of Salt.

I mixed it and refrigerated it.

And here is the finished product!

I did read that drinking Pedialyte might be a little extreme and it should be done in moderation so I am trying to watch for any weird reactions. The taste isn't what I expected as the Pedialyte I bought in the store was more tasty. It could be the flavoring packet that I had used though.
