This is a simple recipe for hydrating fluid in case of dehydration.

It works for people and pets and was recommended to me by a physician when my youngest son was an infant. I have used it many times over the years.

Mix well:

• 4-5 cups of tap water, boiled and cooled
• 6 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

I drink it chilled if plain or warm with a squeeze of lemon or orange in it. 

This is by no means a medical solution for hydration but will help during a case of heavy sweating or flu like illnesses. It works similar to Pedialyte.

Always consult a physician in cases of dehydration.
