Method
Make the base
- 1
Dissolve powder and sugar
Pour the contents of 1 packet of Kool-Aid into a clean 2-quart pitcher. Add 1 cup granulated sugar to the pitcher. Add about 1 cup of the cold water (from the 2 quarts) to the pitcher and stir vigorously until the powder and sugar are completely dissolved.

Add remaining water
Add the remaining cold water (about 1 3/4 quarts) to the pitcher and stir until the drink is uniform in color and sweetness.
Chill and serve
- 3
Taste the Kool-Aid and adjust sweetness if desired by adding up to 2 tablespoons more sugar, stirring until dissolved. If you want a brighter flavor, stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice, to taste.
- 4
Either add 6 cups of ice to the pitcher to chill immediately, or refrigerate the pitcher for at least 30 minutes until cold.
- 5
Serve in glasses over ice. Stir the pitcher before pouring if settling has occurred.
