Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups ice cubes
- 1 packet Kool-Aid drink mix (unsweetened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Add ice cubes to the blender first, followed by the cold water.
- 2. Sprinkle the Kool-Aid packet and sugar over the ice and water mixture. Add lemon juice if using.
- 3. Secure the blender lid tightly and start blending on low for 10 seconds to break up the ice.
- 4. Gradually increase speed to high and blend for 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy.
- 5. Check consistency and adjust if needed by adding more ice for thickness or water if too thick.
- 6. Pour immediately into pre-chilled glasses and serve right away.
Notes
For best results, use very cold water and serve immediately. Leftovers can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. To re-use, let thaw slightly and scrape with a fork. Try mixing different Kool-Aid flavors or adding fresh fruit for variation.
