These Kool-Aid slushies are like a blast from the past and a sip of nostalgia in every cup. Made with just 4 simple ingredients, you too can have a glorious fruity drink made in just minutes. These drinks are perfect for summer and perfect for kids of all ages.
Nothing says summer or childhood like a Slurpee, Icee, or other similar beverage from your local convenience store, right? These Kool Aid Icee drinks taste so much like those ones you craved all summer but with the added bonus of being made in your kitchen and with any luck your blender wont be down for maintenance.
Using your favorite Kool-Aid packet you can create a flavorful drink that your kids will rave about to their friends. Mine have been exploring new and exciting kool-aid flavors and trying to see which one is their favorite to serve up in this icy fashion. Considering how we don't buy Kool-Aid packets very often, they really think they're being treated to something special.
🥘 Ingredients
Kool-aid: Use your favorite flavor packet for these homemade kool aid slishies. We like the blue raspberry.
Ice: You will need a few cups worth of ice per batch.
Water: Using water will help to get us a slushier result as well as help to dissolve the Koolaid packet and sugar together.
Sugar: If you've ever tried kool aid without sugar then you know how badly we need to get some sweetness into this recipe.

🍴 Recipe Tips
If you want to use less water in this kool aid slushies recipe, you can reduce by half and see how you like the results before adding in more, slowly. Using less liquid will result in a thicker drink, but considering that it's mainly ice, if you just wait a few minutes, it will thin out.
Adding more ice or water is also an option but keep in mind that you don't want the drink to get too watered down in taste. Try not to exceed a total of 8 cups of liquid and ice being added as anything beyond that may result in flavor loss.
💭 FAQs
If you don't have a blender you can use a food processor to blend up ice in small batches until fine and then pour them into a bowl. Once you have several cups of ice in that bowl you can stir in the other ingredients until well mixed and pour it into glasses for drinking. Enjoy.
