Fresh lemon juice makes this drink super delicious and helps the body to hydrate. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, just use whatever kind of juice you have.
Avoid using chlorinated water. Well water or filtered water are best.
If you don't have the exact amount of ingredients, make the gatorade anyway, it will still be delicious.
The ingredients may settle a bit in the refrigerator, so just shake it up before drinking.
