Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh seedless grapes (red or green)
- 1 packet unsweetened Kool Aid drink mix (any flavor, such as cherry, grape, or tropical punch)
- 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Prepare the grapes: Rinse the grapes thoroughly under cold running water to clean and remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Make the Kool Aid mixture: In a small bowl or container, combine the Kool Aid powder, granulated sugar if using, and cold water. Stir well until the powder and sugar are fully dissolved.
- Soak the grapes: Place the cleaned grapes into a sealable plastic bag or container. Pour the Kool Aid mixture over the grapes, ensuring they are fully submerged and evenly coated.
- Marinate in the fridge: Seal the bag or cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the grapes to absorb the Kool Aid flavor and develop a sweet-tart coating.
- Serve chilled: Remove the grapes from the fridge, drain off excess liquid, and serve the Kool Aid grapes cold as a refreshing snack.
Notes
- You can experiment with different Kool Aid flavors to customize your grape snack.
- Soaking time can vary from 3 hours to overnight, depending on how intense you want the flavor.
- For a sugar-free version, omit the granulated sugar and use sugar-free Kool Aid powder.
- The grapes will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
