I had heard of a certain restaurant in New Orleans making Ghetto Punch and I heard it was a combination of Kool Aid and Tea.
I’m not sure exactly how true that was, but one day I was out of sugar and pay day was a ways off.
So, I improvised and mixed Instant Tea mix (which already contains sugar) with Kool Aid and my drink came out fairly decent.
I’ve been trying to tweak it as of lately and I find this is the best combination.
Try it if you dare.
As stated on Facebook and Instagram:
…This is how I make Ghetto Punch…
1 Gallon of Tap Water
1.33 Cups of Lemon flavored instant tea mix
1 Packet of Watermelon Kool Aid
1 Packet of Pink Lemonade Kool Aid
Extra sugar until sweet enough (optional)
Stir briskly
Chill in refrigerator until cold
Enjoy!
This recipe really comes in handy towards the end of the month especially as a cost effective alternative to soft drinks!
