Kool-aid

Do you serve it to your kids? Do you use the real sugar or buy sugar free? Have you tried it with honey or Agave nectar?

My sons likes the Black Cherry flavor and so do I! It's cheap so I am thinking of trying it with Agave nectar instead of sugar.

(Don't get me wrong... this is more of a treat. We do a lot of bottled waters and I make all kinds of teas, cold and hot!)

I have not bought it for a very long time.  I have never tried the agave nectar.  I want to, just don't want to buy it and have no one like it.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to not like agave nectar. LOL. I put it in DH's iced tea and in yogurt; everyone loves it. You really cant taste a difference.

I cant even remember the last time we bought kool aid. Too much sugar and dye. Every once in a while I miss it. Black Cherry was my favorite too.

I love Kool-Aid. The kids don't enjoy it as much as I do. I only put 1 cup of sugar in the gallon instead of two.

And Black Cherry is also my favorite, lol.

Please don't give your kids KoolAid!!!!! The artificial dyes and flavorings are terrible for them! Just a little bit does harm.

I don't think my kids have ever had Kool-Aid - at least I've never bought it for them.  They've probably had it at a friend's house.  We have problems with dyes, so it's a pretty big no no!

Agave is actually not that good for you - I'd stick with honey!
