Well, I called my mom to ask her about the mix, she even checked her metal recipe box, couldn’t find it written down, but here’s what we remember from talking it out.
Start with:
one pack jell-o mix, (regular size - weighs 85g and basic directions call for mixing up with 2 cups water.)
1 packet of unsweetened kool-aid mix, (weighs 6g, makes up 8 cups.)
1 cup of sugar.
Empty the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups boiling hot water, and mix thoroughly. Add 2 cups ice-cold water, and mix again. Pour into molds, insert sticks, and freeze overnight.
The consistency is not like store-bought popsicles, but I enjoyed them a lot. There was indeed something just a bit jelly-like about the texture after you’d been sucking on them for a while, but I think that’s better than getting ice that has had all the flavour sucked out of it.
If anybody mixes this up, please post to let us know how it went!
