recipe for homemade gator-aid

[jayne]

for those of you in this heat wave we need to stay hydrated but I cant afford the hi cost of sports drinks here is how to make it your self...you can make it any flavor you want but you need to find a flavor in a cheepo drink mix Kool aid doesnt taste real well for some reason I use wylers and the kids love it...
1 envolope unsweet wylers drink mix
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp salt sub
1/4 sugar
1/4 corn syrup
(For Bills I use his sugar sub for both of the above)
2 tsp lemon juice
water to make 2 qts....

also if you have a dog out side...please dont forget them....put ice in their water give them cold treats....and run a sprinkler in the hottest part of the day..if you dog gets to hot here is a dog pedialyte recipe
1 cup water
1/8tsp salt
3tsp sugar
boil till disolved cool this can be kept in fridge for up to 5 days...
I know some people dont want dogs in their houses but this heat wave is a killer...think twice water several times a day.....
