Just got done making this, and the husband says, and I quote, "ooohhh... this is just like Gatorade." Both him and the baby are sick today so I made this for him and the Pedialyte clone off this site for her. Used lemon lime drink mix and subbed salt substitute for the salt to give more electrolytes (potassium). This one is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you SO much for posting this recipe! My DH drinks Gatorade by the gallon in the summer, and he actually proclaimed this to be "good!" which is huge, as he usually says "it's ok". He dared me to be able to find a Gatorade recipe, well I just said "let me check on Zaar"! Not only that, I can now make this drink for around thirty cents as opposed to what used to cost more than $2.00 - what's not to like??! You're a life saver!

My husband can't tolerate citric acid so store bought sports drinks are out of the question. This is s great substitute. Every flavor we have tried at least 2 out of 3 have liked and I have made a LOT of this. Another bonus is the kids love it! A little healthier than Kool-Aid. Thanks for posting!
