Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Merrilee and I'm going to show you how to make your own homemade Gatorade. It's quick, easy, and very economical. First we start with two quarts of water. I'm going to add a package of, today it's black cherry, unsweetened Kool-Aid. Our next ingredient is sugar, of eight tablespoons of sugar. And then, the secret ingredient to making it like Gatorade is a salt substitute that patain, that contains potassium chloride and there's an eighth of a teaspoon at the ti, salt substitute with potassium chloride in it. Then all you do is mix it up. Now this Gatorade has a hundred and ten milligrams of sodium and thirty-eight milligrams of potassium in it per eight ounce serving. To make two quarts of this, about thirty cents. Compare that to three dollars that you would normally pay for the commercially packaged brand, and that's how easy it is to make your own homemade Gatorade."
