Remember to take into account the difference between the weight of potassium vs potassium chloride, same for sodium. Or you can look up the amount in volume measures like a teaspoon/tablespoon. I'd be tempted to keep it in a wire-latch mason jar (hmm, might actually go get one and transfer my tub of gatorade to it).
Recipe#1 in the link is actually very simple.
120 grams Sugar + 4.2 grams Mortin Lite salt +1,875.8 grams water = 2,000 grams sports drink (regular size pitcher)
Subtract from 1,875.8 grams water if adding flavoring. Packet will tell you weight of product to subtract
Morton Lite salt is sodium chloride and potassium chloride. It is not elemental sodium or potassium
Wire latch mason jar is a great idea
