Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of unsweetened Kool-Aid in 2 tablespoons of water.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, try using flavored Kool-Aid instead of unsweetened. Adjust the sugar to your preference depending on the sweetness of the Kool-Aid. If you're out of sugar, honey or agave syrup can serve as alternatives. Ensure the Kool-Aid is fully dissolved before adding the milk to avoid clumps. This fun drink can also be made with nut or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Fun Milk in colorful cups to enhance the fun experience, especially for kids. It pairs beautifully with snacks like popcorn or cookies, making it a delightful treat for parties. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside the Go Go Salad for a refreshing contrast. This drink can also be a fun addition to breakfast alongside pancakes or waffles.
Storage & Reheating
Fun Milk is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving, as separation may occur. Do not freeze, as dairy can change texture when thawed. For a quick refresh, simply give it a good shake or stir before enjoying again.
