Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pouch Kool-Aid drink mix any flavor, unsweetened
  • 1 cup sugar adjust based on sweetness preference
  • 4 cups cold water divided for mixing and freezing

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the Kool-Aid powder, sugar, and 2 cups of cold water until the sugar and powder are completely dissolved, and the mixture is vibrant and smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading it out evenly to help it freeze uniformly.
  3. Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for about 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure a smooth consistency.
  4. Once frozen solid, remove the container from the freezer and give the mixture a good stir to loosen it and make it scoopable.
  5. Use a spoon or scoop to serve the frozen slushie into glasses or cups, revealing the bright, vibrant color and icy texture.
  6. Enjoy this refreshing, colorful Kool-Aid slushie immediately for the best icy, slushy texture.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar. For a tangier flavor, add a splash of lemon juice before freezing.
