Testing a New Recipe: Jelly Made with Kool-Aid Bottle

Kool Aid bottle jelly is a fun and easy DIY project that is perfect for kids and adults alike. Not only does it make a tasty treat, but it also serves as a creative way to recycle Kool Aid bottles. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of making your own Kool Aid bottle jelly.

Ingredients:
– 2 cups of water
– 1 packet of gelatin powder (about 2 ¼ tablespoons)
– 2 cups of sugar
– 1 packet of Kool Aid powder (any flavor of your choice)
– Kool Aid bottles (cleaned and dried)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Kool Aid bottles: Make sure to thoroughly wash and dry the Kool Aid bottles before using them. Remove the labels and lids from the bottles, and set them aside.

2. Make the jelly mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, gelatin powder, and sugar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the gelatin and sugar have dissolved completely.

3. Add the Kool Aid powder: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the packet of Kool Aid powder until it is fully incorporated into the jelly mixture.

4. Fill the bottles: Carefully pour the jelly mixture into the cleaned Kool Aid bottles, leaving a little bit of space at the top of each bottle to allow room for the jelly to set.

5. Let the jelly set: Place the filled Kool Aid bottles in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly has solidified.

6. Enjoy your Kool Aid bottle jelly: Once the jelly has set, you can enjoy your delicious Kool Aid bottle jelly straight from the bottle! Simply remove the lid and dig in with a spoon.

Recipe test:

Now that you’ve made your own Kool Aid bottle jelly, it’s time to put it to the test! Here are a few things to consider when testing out your jelly:

– Flavor: How does the flavor of the Kool Aid jelly compare to store-bought jelly? Is it too sweet or too tangy? Adjust the amount of sugar and Kool Aid powder to suit your taste preferences.

– Texture: Is the jelly too firm or too soft? If it’s too firm, try reducing the amount of gelatin in the recipe. If it’s too soft, try increasing the amount of gelatin.

– Presentation: How does the jelly look in the Kool Aid bottles? Are there any air bubbles or discolorations in the jelly? You can experiment with different techniques for pouring the jelly into the bottles to achieve a smoother appearance.

– Storage: How long does the Kool Aid bottle jelly last in the refrigerator? Does it need to be consumed within a certain timeframe to maintain its freshness?
