Start by choosing your desired flavor of Kool-Aid from the available packets.
In a large pitcher, empty the contents of one Kool-Aid packet.
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the pitcher.
Measure out 8 cups of cold water and pour it into the pitcher with the Kool-Aid powder and sugar.
Using a long spoon, stir the mixture thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes, or until the sugar and Kool-Aid powder are completely dissolved.
Taste the Kool-Aid and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar to your preference, then stir again.
Chill the Kool-Aid in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, or serve immediately over ice for a cool and refreshing beverage.
Pour into glasses and enjoy your homemade Kool-Aid!
