Homemade Pedialite
A Doctor who is a missionary in El Salvador created this recipe.
1 quart water
8 tsp. sugar (I think I'd use honey instead)
1/2 tsp. salt
Fresh juice of 1/2 orange or 1 banana blended.
Mix all together.
I thought these may be useful to someone. Sounds like the second one would be more palatable, to me. I like the idea of adding the crushed calcium tablets from the first one and would probably try that, but I don't know what the baking soda is for.
