How to Dye Eggs with Kool Aid
Step 1 – Take 1 full packet of kool-aid mix and stir with 2/3 cup of water (some have used 1 cup of water). If you use less water, you will get more vibrant colors.
Step 2 – Dip your eggs like you normally would in desired color. Allow the color to penetrate fully. We have even did tie dye on the eggs.
Step 3 – Let Kool Aid dyed easter eggs dry completely on a wire rack.
Step 4 – We like to keep in the egg carton to dry.
Recipe Tips
- Dyeing the Eggs – The less water you use the more vibrant the color of your eggs will be.
- Placing in the Water – You only need to place the eggs in the water for about a minute or so. It doesn’t take long for the color of the eggs to appear on the egg.
- Color of the Eggs – Some Kool Aid flavors may not turn out good colors for the eggs. Lemonade flavor color did not turn out a very vibrant yellow. It was a light yellow color.
- Drying Eggs – Place on a wire rack that has a paper towel underneath. This catches any drippings for the dye.
