hi everyone it's James from fun foods and i invite you to keep watching to see how
to make these kool aid ice cubes and some of them glow in the dark
the lighter colors anyway so keep watching and I'll show you step-by-step
how to do these this is what you're going to need to make these you're going
to need a measuring cup
you're going to need some sugar ice cube trays tonic water make sure it contains
this quinine
I think that's how it's pronounced I'm not sure sprite something for us right
into and some different flavors of Kool aid to start with
I'm going to take my kool aid package and i'm going to empty it into my
container starting with cherry
I have one fourth cup of sugar and what I want to do is add half of my contents
this is about
I want to add three fourths of a cup of tonic water and then the rest i want to
add regular water so i have it
it's at a cup and a half total that's what it takes to fill up my ice cube tray and
i'm just going to mix it up really good
and when all the sugar and kool aid has dissolved will be ready to pour into
my ice cube tray now I'm just going to fill my Ice Cube tray up
now i'm just going to take this put it in the freezer until they harden up
nicely and while that's doing that I'm going to start doing the rest of the
flavors my kool-aid is out of freezer now and they're hardened up i think
they're hardened up enough that I can pop them out and i'll start with the
orange
I'm gonna pop them out on this plate first and this is what they look like and I'm
gonna put one of each color in a cup i'll do the same with another color
now that all the ice cubes are in the cup
I just have my bottle of sprite and I'm going to pour it in there and as you see
it changes color it's no longer clear because it takes on the colors from
inside the the kool-aid as the kool-aid melts it changes the taste of your drink
it's no longer going to be just a sprite drink it will be a mixture of all these
different flavors
this is what my ice cubes look like under a black fluorescent light you can
see the yellow ones in the blue ones kind of stand out but the orange and the
red don't really glow very much
so you want to keep your colors light if you can it helps better in the drink
they pretty much melted there is some still around but you can see inside the
sprite drink that the lighter colors stand out a little more under the
black light
well i'm going to give this a try and see how it tastes
tastes a lot like a fruit punch drink as the mixture of all the different flavors
and it's a little tangy and that comes from the tonic water it has a tangy
taste to it you can use less tonic water
it really didn't glow a great deal except for the lighter color colors the
lighter color
kool aid they glowed pretty good but the darker colors did not the red and the
blue
so you could use it with the tonic if you don't want to glow if you just want
to add that flavor to it
just go ahead and do it skip the whole Tonic step and just use regular water
well thanks everyone for watching to see how to make these kool aid ice cubes and
some of them actually glowed in the dark as you saw and if you enjoyed this video
