Dried Kool-Aid is a powdered drink mix that can be used to make a refreshing beverage. It is made from sugar, corn syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, and food coloring. Kool-Aid was invented in 1927 by Edwin Perkins in Hastings, Nebraska. It was originally called “Fruit Smack” but was renamed “Kool-Aid” in 1934.
If you have a packet of dried Kool-Aid that has become hard or clumpy, you can revive it by adding a little bit of water. Start by adding 1/4 cup of water to the Kool-Aid powder and stir until it is dissolved. If the mixture is still too thick, add another 1/4 cup of water and stir until it is smooth. Once the Kool-Aid is dissolved, you can add more water to taste.
