Got my Avia Charge 2000 today. Mixed 1/2 teaspoon to a gallon of water. The water is almost black, lol. I cant believe how dark it is. I was afraid that after reading this that the girls would not drink it. As soon as they took a sip, they all started gulping it up like crazy. One of them was even sticking her entire head under water like a duck would, lol. It was funny to watch. They couldnt drink it fast enough. I'm guessing it tasted good. Hopefully they will continue drinking it. Good luck with yours lone cowboy.
