Equipment
- Blender or Food Processor
- Large mixing bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 packet Kool-Aid powder any flavor
- 1 cup cold water preferably ice-cold
- 1 cup ice cubes more if needed for thickness
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional, brightens flavor
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup optional, for added sweetness
Instructions
- Pour the Kool-Aid powder into a large mixing bowl and add 1 cup of cold water. Stir vigorously until the powder is completely dissolved and the mixture smells tangy and vibrant.
- Transfer the Kool-Aid mixture into your blender, then add about half of the ice cubes. Blend on high until the mixture becomes slushy, with a bright, semi-frozen appearance and a crackling sound as ice breaks down.
- Check the texture—if it’s too watery, add more ice and blend again until thick and icy. If it’s too thick, splash in a little more cold water or a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness, then blend briefly.
- Taste the slushie and, if desired, stir in a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup for extra sweetness. Briefly blend again to fully incorporate the sweetener.
- Pour the vibrant, icy slush into glasses immediately. Serve with a straw or spoon, enjoying the crackling, colorful texture that’s perfect for summer.
Notes
For an even more colorful experience, layer different Kool-Aid flavors or add fruit slices for garnish. To keep the slushie icy longer, serve immediately or freeze for a few minutes before drinking.
