I have used Tang with some salt as an ORS for my family and I for years.

Tang ingredients are listed at 9 grams of sugar per 8 oz serving.

Using 4 grams/tsp of Sugar, there is 2.25 tsp per 8 oz serving, or 9 grams per quart.

Add your 1 tsp of salt, and you have an ORS with a little extra sugar, but a flavor most people will tolerate well.

Tang does not list Potassium or Magnesium. It lists 10% of the RDA of Calcium. It has quite a few Vitamins listed as well, and it stays useful practically forever.
