► 1 packet any flavor of unsweetened Kool-Aid or similar product for making 2 quarts
► 8 tablespoons sugar
► 3/8 teaspoon of salt
► 1/8 teaspoon salt substitute that contains potassium chloride
► 2 quarts of water"
I have tried this recipe, with lemon-lime KoolAid, and ya know, it is pretty decent.
If you try honey, I suggest starting at 5 tablspoons, mixing and tasting, then adding more to taste.
