    I wonder if it would be possible to substitute splenda/sucralose for the sugar in this and still have it work the same way?

    The salt and baking soda are the electrolytes, not the sugar. The sugar is because you’re using unsweetened drink mix.

    Is the amount of sugar, 7 tsp., correct? For one packet of unsweetened kool-aid, this would be very sour? Should the kool-aid be pre-sweetened using the amount needed to make 2 qts.?

    I added 7 Tbsp and its still a little sour but I think it’ll work. I assumed it was a typo too :) I imagine I could’ve used agave but I didnt think of that til after I added the sugar. Next time..
