Kool Aid Flavors

Right in time for summer, let’s talk about Kool Aid Flavors! The original six flavors of Kool Aid include Raspberry, Cherry, Grape, Lemon, Orange, and Root-Beer. When the powder is mixed with the correct amount of water, all the flavors have a refreshing light taste. They also all have a very sweet-tasting flavor. Grape in particular is slightly different with a sweet-sour flavor, especially appealing to children. If you’re worried about all the sugar in Kool-Aid, you might try the sugar free flavors of kool-aid, which are Cherry, Grape, Lemonade, Soarin’ Strawberry Lemonade, and Tropical Punch. Even the sugar free versions however are surprisingly sweet and are particularly appealing to children for this reason. One interesting fact about Kool Aid: Kool Aid is the official soft drink of Nebraska!

Recipe for Kool Aid / How to Make Kool-Aid: Kool-Aid comes in powder form in little packets. The packet will tell you how much water that should be mixed with the powder. Warm one third of the water instructed in the mixing. Then mix the fruit sugar flavoring from the packet into the warm water. Then put in the rest of the water and stir. Add ice to finish it off. Let it sit for 5 minutes, and you’re ready for this summery-sweet refreshing summer flavor!

White chocolate, popcorn, mocha, cake, chips, peppermint

Today’s flavor is white chocolate.  White chocolate is a popular variation of the classic flavor chocolate.  White chocolate flavor has been described as tasting like chocolate but with a milky and smoother flavor. The ingredients for white chocolate include sugar, cocoa butter (the fat from cocoa beans), milk solids, lecithin, sugar, and vanilla.  One notable difference between chocolate and white chocolate is that white chocolate does not contain chocolate liquor or cocoa solids.  Because it does not have any cocoa solids, white chocolate (unlike regular chocolate) does not have any caffeine.  White chocolate should not be confused with milk chocolate. (Milk chocolate actually IS chocolate, and contains sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, milk, and vanilla.)  Milk chocolate appears as a brown color like chocolate, while white chocolate appears as white.White chocolate is incredibly popular, and many people that do not care for regular chocolate like white chocolate as the flavor is quite different.  Flavorings of white chocolate include white chocolate pepperment bark which is popular around Christmas.  White chocolate fudge is a popular dessert and is described as being creamy, rich, and very sweet – you can find recipes easy online.  White chocolate cheesecake is popular in the supermarkets – a very dense and decadent dessert.  You’ll never find white chocolate popcorn in a movie theater, however if you find a gourmet popcorn bag, you might find this flavor.  Other items which have been flavored successfully with white chocolate include white chocolate mocha (to drink), white chocolate cookies (you can add white chocolate chips to make them), white chocolate pretzels (very popular and easy to find), white chocolate syrup, white chocolate icing, white chocolate liquer, white chocolate m&ms (yes, they exist), and the list goes on and on.White chocolate – great flavor!!
