My kids have always loved Icees, except for the last handful of times we have bought them they have tasted terrible. To the point where last time we got them the kids barely drank any of them. As you guys know I recently bought a blender and I am hooked on making drinks. So I accepted the challenge and made some really good handmade slushies for the kids, and Im passing my recipe along to you guys.
1 cup sugar
1 packet kool-aid
2 cups cold water
5 cups ice
Pop all of this in the blender {Don’t mix the kool-aid first} and blend. I set mine on “Ice Crush” and within a few moments I had some really delicious slushies. This recipe made 3 16 ounce cups.
We made “tropical” flavored Kool-aid, and added a cup of frozen strawberries. It tasted really good. Im guessing that different kinds of fruits would work well in this recipe.
**Remember though that Kool-aid stains {especially the red and purple ones} so remember to have a paper towel ready to wipe up any mess as it happens**
