  2. Add approximately 1 cup of cold water to the pitcher. Stir vigorously until the Kool-Aid powder and sugar are completely dissolved.
  3. Gradually add the remaining 2 ½ cups of cold water while stirring continuously to ensure even distribution of flavor and sweetness.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and fully chill before serving. Enjoy!
