[pct-l] Water is Soooo Boring

[David Thibault]

I make my own "gator-aid" style mix - that way I can control the amount of
sugar.

My current recipe which makes 2 liters is:

1 packet kool-aid type mix
1/4 c Sugar
4 packets splenda
1/8 to 1/4 tsp lite-salt (like Mortons) - it has both sodium & potassium
1/8 tsp magnisuim powder (found at a health store)


You can add more or less sweetener as you like.  I use the combo of sugar
and splenda as I don't like the taste of splenda alone but splenda is
lighter that sugar.  I'm allergic to aspartame but that is light and sweet
to.  Steva may be good too I just haven't tried it.
