Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet Kool Aid flavoring powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar optional, for extra sweetness
  • 4 cups cold water

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Freezer
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Mix the Kool Aid powder and sugar in a bowl until well combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Pour in the cold water and stir vigorously until the sugar and powder are fully dissolved, and the liquid turns vibrant and bright in color.
  3. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish and spread it evenly in an ice-cube-like layer.
  4. Place the dish in the freezer and freeze for about 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up any ice crystals and keep it slushie-like.
  5. Once the mixture is fully frozen and has a firm but scoopable consistency, use a spoon or scoop to break it into chunks.
  6. Blend the frozen chunks in a blender until the mixture is smooth and has a thick, icy texture.
  7. Pour the blended Kool Aid slushie into glasses, and serve immediately for a refreshing, icy treat.

Notes

For additional flavor, add fruit slices or a splash of lemon juice before blending. Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of sugar.
