Kool-Aid has been a refreshing drink with a variety of flavors for decades. Kool-Aid is also a good way to get your children to drink water. The best thing about Kool-Aid is that it is very inexpensive and lasts a long time. Here are my steps to making a good pitcher of Kool-Aid.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • One pack of Kool-Aid per 2 quarts flavor of choice
  • Strong plastic or glass pitcher (make sure you know how many quarts it is)
  • Sugar
  • Cold water
  • Big spoon with long handle
  • Ice cubes
  • Choice of fruit
  • Measuring cup
  1. Step 1

    To prevent a sugary powdery mess, place pitcher in kitchen sink. Pour Kool-Aid packet(s) into pitcher. Break up your choice of fruit in bite size pieces (not too small, to prevent choking) and place in pitcher.

  2. Step 2

    Pour cold water into Kool-Aid but stop about 3/4 inches away from top. You must leave room for sugar and ice.

  3. Step 3

    Decide how sweet you like your Kool-Aid and how much sugar intake you want your children to have. I like to follow the directions and pour just 1 cup of sugar per 2 quarts in. However, if you like your Kool-Aid to be really sweet, 2 and 3 cups can be used. (Any more then that and it is syrup.) Use a long spoon to stir thoroughly.

  4. Step 4

    Add ice cubes and pour in drinking glasses; serve.
