    … can't find it anywhere and really thought it was on here.

    Think it was cranberry juice, honey, sugar, salt but can't remember.

    Can anyone help me out?

    I use this recipe which I found in a sports nutrition book

    50g Sugar
    1/4 teaspoon of salt
    60ml hot water
    60ml orange juice (not concentrate)
    840ml cold water

    In a jug dissolve sugar and salt with hot water, ad the juice and cold water; chill; drink

    200 total calories, 12g carbohydrate; 110mg sodium

    You need to find the article on bikeradar about making your own drinks and then look at the comments, where the website for the expert enthusiast for home made drinks is linked.

    Just be careful with the caffeine…

    Kona – that's fairly low on carbs for an energy drink

    something like SIS PSP2 has around 100g of carbs per litre

    Ops

    250 ml = 12g carbohydrate; 110mg sodium

    Still only 48g carbohydrate per litre

    you'll be wanting to put a bit of lo salt in that (for the potassium) or you'll be getting cramp pains (if you sweat like i do…it was 45 degrees in valencia this weekend…

    nowhere near enough carbohydrate, but it is cheaper I suppose.

    Surely its less carbohydrate as its simple sugar. If you just put more sugar in then you'd just up the concentration and slow the absorbtion of fluid. I think proper energy drinks use longer chain carbohydrate

    PS this may be total rubbish

    PPS once tried using home made oral rehydration solution as an energy drink. I still feel sick now thinking about it.
