    No Additive Kool-Aid Recipe: Kid-Approved, Happy Mom! summertime drink, red drink, pitcher of Kool-Aid
    Updated 1/2020

    The first time I remember having ‘Kool-Aid’ was at summer church camp during my young teens. I loved drinking it when I was so thirsty after my Jr. Life-Saving class. It was a novelty, staining our mouths and tongues red. My mom never bought this for us at home!

    Later, as a young married wife, I helped serve Kool-Aid during our play group snack time, and all the Moms made comments on how wound up the children were. We thought it was sugar, but I don’t think we had made the connection between artificial food dyes and hyperactivity back in the 80s.

    The Washington Post and the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP)  have recently spoken out that artificial food dyes have been linked to hyperactivity, and it’s not just in candy. “Americans are really turned on by a bright-red strawberry juice, and they think it’s natural,” said Kantha Shelke, co-president of the food research firm Corvus Blue. The Center for Science in the Public Interest points to studies suggesting that some of the dyes are also suspected carcinogens.

    Food Dyes & Labeling

    No Additive Kool-Aid Recipe: Kid-Approved, Happy Mom! Center for Science in the Public Interest food dye chart.

    Here is what the Kool-Aid label tells us is ‘good for kids’:

    KOOL-AID INGREDIENTS: Sugar, Fructose, Citric Acid (Provides Tartness), Contains Less Than 2% Of: Natural And Artificial Flavor, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Vitamin E Acetate, Calcium Phosphate (Prevents Caking), Acesulfame Potassium (almost as nasty as aspartame) And Sucralose (Sweeteners), Artificial Color, Red 40, Blue 1, BHA (Preserves Freshness).

    While I delighted in my children even when they were rambunctious and very busy, I hoped to avoid anything that would make them feel or act out of control. Looking back, I wish I had known about this when we were trying to figure out food allergies. Who wants to rev up their children even more than they already are?

    So if you want to serve the children a bright, sparkling, sweet and delicious red drink that won’t make them act silly, get angry, aggressive, or just plain hyper, I think you will want this recipe.

    ‘Better Than Kool-Aid’ is made like a tea with three ingredients:

    Stevia leaf is known for its amazing sweetness and smoothness~

    I only use the organic whole dried leaf (unrefined). It is an herb, from a plant and is in no way synthetic or an artificial sweetener.

    Stevia is being increasingly studied as a tool to help manage and possibly prevent type 2 diabetes. Several small studies, including a study published in July 2018 by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), have found that stevia did not raise blood sugar or insulin levels in participants who were lean or obese. (source)

    It may promote better insulin function, according to the ​Journal of Functional Foods. Lastly, ​the ​Journal of Nutrition​ reveals stevia may help you feel more full, meaning that you’re less likely to overeat.

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

    It is filled with health benefits:

    • It’s anti-inflammatory

    • It’s very calming and relieves stress when taken daily like a medicine (see study)

    • It helps gently lower blood pressure

    • It may help lower blood fats

    • Boosts liver health

    • Could promote weight loss

    • Contains compounds that prevent cancer

    • Has antibacterial properties

    And is filled with bright flavor..naturally!

    …and Peppermint leaf is so cooling on a hot summer’s day~

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

    Kool-Aid Recipe:

    Pour 2 cups of boiling water over:

    • 4 TBSP Hibiscus flowers

    • 1 1/2 to 2 tsp Stevia leaves depending on the desired sweetness (fresh or dried herb)

    • 3 1/2 tsp Peppermint leaves (dried herb)(if using fresh peppermint leaves, use 10-15 6-inch mint sprigs as dried leaves are more concentrated)

    Stir to immerse the herbs fully. Almost immediately, you will see the deep rich ruby-red color flow from the hibiscus herb. It is beautiful to watch.

    Incredibly Simple Directions:

    • Let the 3 ingredients above steep for 15 to 20 minutes in the boiling water

    • Strain into a 1/2 gallon pitcher. (I use this type of strainer).

    • Add several cups of ice

    • Fill the rest of the way with cold water. Serve chilled.

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      I love the idea of using stevia, somehow it hadn’t occurred to me yet! My family really enjoys tea made from hibiscus and lemon balm sweetened with a small amount of honey or sugar. It’s really lovely and refreshing.

      We just made the lifestyle change to ‘healthy’ in Jan of this yr. But before that we had stopped buying products with red 40 in them because of our son. The Dr told me (when our son was about 2) that he would say our son was Autistic and he wanted to give him meds. I refused and started asking around and doing some research. As a result we discovered that he was reacting to the dye… So kool aid has been a no-no since then (8 yrs)… This looks fun. My two children have always wished them could drink ‘pretty’ drinks! 🙂 So now maybe we can! 😀

      My son was born in 1983 and by the time he was 2, I wouldn’t give him anything sugary too often because it made him so ranbunctious. I didn’t read it anywhere, and I don’t know if it was ‘out’ there to be read in the 80’s. I made as much as I could with carob and sucunat or honey….that was all I knew to do back then (doesn’t this make me sound ancient?!) Later I found that all those colorful red foods both artificial and naturally red like tomatoes are called solicilates and will have an affect on some children (if not most?).

      I am enjoying reading what you are sharing from the Bulk Herb store and your storehouse of knowledge as I am trying (sometimes unsuccessfully) to eat healthier.

      Oh yes Kool-aid is bad in my opinion. What always gets me is how it will stain your fingers, clothes, counter tops. If it does that to objects what does it do to our insides?

      What a great idea mixing the three of them. I’ve had hibiscus before and it is quite yummy.

      I would be very careful using anything with stevia in it – especially for children. It has frequently been tied to stomach issues, particularly diarrhea.

      Be careful with the stevia! Make sure you let everyone know that you are using it and not sugar or honey. I had a anaphylactic reaction to stevia. People think that since it is natural, it is good for everyone.

      This looks amazing!!! As a Black-American, kool-aid is the main drink in our soul food dishes. As I got older, I wanted a healthier alternative without all the dyes and white sugar! I wouldn’t want to drink that all the time. Hibiscus is very close to tasting like the real deal, but with added benefits. Adding stevia and peppermint leaves is a plus! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe! 🙂

        Krystal, the hibiscus drink is why we as black Americans drink kool aid. Hibiscus is a west African flower that millions of us still use to make this drink today as it is popular all over west and central Africa and in the Caribbean. Google the words Zobo (Nigeria), Bissap (Congo), Sorrel (Caribbean), and you will see images of this red hibiscus drink African and African descended people drink all the time. African Americans did not have access to this drink in north america so we made substitutes with other red drinks. It’s funny how this webpage is teaching you about your ancient culture and you did not even realize it. Hibiscus drink is our original kool aid.

        Hmmm…I am really not sure I can be exact, so this will be a guess: I have under a half bag and have made it 7 times. I gave 2 TBSP to a friend, as well. I’m going to guess it will make 11-12 1/2 gallon containers full. You could call the BHS and ask them to be more accurate. http://www.bulkherbstore.com/Hibiscus-Flowers-Cut_Organic#a_aid=deeprootsathome The phone # is on the page link. Good luck and sorry I couldn’t be of more help. It will cost more than Kool-Aid but be WAY better for you and actually give you health benefits, too 🙂

      Hi,
      I love this idea. It scary to think of how many children are still drinking kool-aid. We drank it as kids because it was cheap and my Mother did not know about the health dangers of the additives and dyes. I’m not even sure at that time they labeled the ingredients. It was a different world too and I not even sure they had as much junk in kool-aid at that time. I love your homemade kool-aid recipe. Sounds delicious and filled with health.

        Hope that helps! 🙂

        Hi, Jill,
        I personally do not think that dried stevia leaves have any bitter taste – that is why they are perfect for this Kool-Aid recipe.
        Smooth, natural and very sweet. And a little go a long way! I do not think you will be disappointed.
        Blessings,
        Jacque

      Where would I find hibiscus petals? Are they fresh or dried? I grow big, dinner plate size hibiscus. Is there a certain type of hibiscus to use? Where does one get dried stevia leaf or fresh stevia leaf? Sorry for all the questions. This looks delicious! I bet my grandkids would love it! And so would I!

      Hi, Heather! it is all in the post, my friend…all the directions and links to each product in the recipe. I hope that helps! ~J
      PS I do not know if there is a specific variety of hibiscus to use, but if you have your own, then IO would dry it and use that unless it has been sprayed.

      If you have any international or ethnic markets in your area, its often found there. Organic markets such as Whole Foods and Sprouts seem to be carrying it as well.
