    Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. Plastic popsicle molds work perfectly, but if you don't have any on hand, just use an ice cube tray. Place popsicle sticks, straws or chopstick pieces in the center of the molds.

    Freeze the popsicles. Place them in the freezer and freeze the mixture for several hours, until it's completely solid.

    Mix the Kool-Aid, sugar and milk in a bowl. Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.

    2

    Pour the mixture into a shallow pan. A nine or ten-inch baking pan works quite well. It should be shallow enough to help the sherbert freeze evenly, but still deep enough so that the liquid is contained.[3]

    3

    Freeze the mixture for half an hour. Cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.

  4. 3 Ways to Make Kool Aid - wikiHow (23)

    4

    Stir the mixture and continue freezing for several hours. Stirring after half an hour will help the sherbert freeze evenly and acquire the right texture.

  5. 5

    Scoop the sherbert when it's firm. After a few hours, the sherbert should be scoopable. Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to serve it up in small bowls.

    How do I use Kool Aid to make flavorings?

    3 Ways to Make Kool Aid - wikiHow (25)

    Community Answer

    Depends on what kind of flavoring you need. If you need liquid, make some Kool Aid with slightly more Kool Aid than water. If you need a syrup, put a little bit of water on the amount of flavoring you need. If you need powder, just use Kool Aid by itself.

    No. The reason cyanide was present in the massacre was because they used Flavor Aid and put the cyanide in it. You are in no danger drinking Kool Aid.
