A couple weeks ago I posted [in a topic about plastic in salt] a recipe from the Mayo Clinic for making homemade rehydrating solution (like Pedialyte) from salt, baking soda, sugar, and water.
The first time I made it, I expected it to taste awful, and I thought I’d have to choke it down—especially since I was very sick, which was why I made it. To my surprise it tasted delicious, and it was really easy to sip all day. It was so much more drinkable than plain water. I didn’t have to make myself drink it—I wanted to drink it. (For the record, I make it with slightly less sugar than that recipe calls for.)
