I have a delish and very cool Kool-Aid recipe for you! It is brilliant crimson red, made with hibiscus flowers and tastes no different than store-bought Kool-Aid. With the downside of dyes and aspartame in most of the Kool-Aid drinks, many people are going this safer, more natural Kool-Aid recipe.

It’s Made Like Tea Using 3 Herbs:

Stevia leaf is known for its amazing sweetness and smoothness – no sugar spike or empty calories ~

Hibiscus flower gives off its distinctly bright red color and has a sweet tart taste that really quenches your thirst~

…and Peppermint leaf is so cooling on a hot summer’s day and pulls the blend together with zing ~

Besides tasting terrific, a great thing about my alternative Kool-Aid recipe is that it is sugar-free and dye-free. It has a lot of extra healthy benefits since it’s loaded with Vitamin C and bioflavonoids.

They’ll all love the very same Kool-Aid taste and you’ll know it’s not causing them a possible reaction to food dyes linked to ADD, ADHD, poor behavior, or other side-effects.

Three Ingredient Kool-Aid Recipe:

Pour 2 cups of boiling water over:

~2 TBSP Hibiscus flowers
~1 to 1 1/2 tsp Stevia leaves depending on desired sweetness (fresh or dried herb)
~1 tsp Peppermint leaves (fresh or dried herb)

Let the brew steep for 15 to 20 minutes then strain into a 1/2 gallon pitcher. Fill the rest of the way with cold water. Stir and enjoy cold!

  1. I’m so glad you posted this, Jacqueline. I had purchased Bulk Herb Store’s organic Festiva tea blend last winter and enjoyed it hot, but I think it might make a great iced drink, too. Those hibiscus flowers do give it a beautiful color. Hope you are enjoying the last of July. We’re enjoying an unseasonably cool spell here in the South. Thank the Lord! Have a wonderful day! 🙂
