Does anyone know a recipe or brand that tastes good?

I've tried different brands, and it all tasted too unpleasant to drink for me, though I didn't have a critical need for it.

I also made it at home [1], and tried adding some lemon juice to that recipe. The taste resembled a sports drink, but again wasn't sufficient to drink daily.

[1] 1 liter water, 8 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt https://www.britannica.com/science/oral-rehydration-therapy

Anything functional will taste like a dog’s breakfast. IV normal saline tastes absolutely awful I never got the courage to try D5W or any other solutions.

1.5 cups orange juice, 2.5 cups water, 1 tsp salt. Comes out to about the same ratio, but doesn't taste like mud.

When you really need it, they taste amazing.
