Step 1

Pour the contents of 1 (0.22-ounce) packet unsweetened Kool-Aid into a 2-cup or larger liquid measuring cup or medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Add the liquid from 1 (32-ounce) jar dill pickles spears (leave the pickles in the jar). Whisk until the Kool-Aid and sugar are dissolved.

Step 2

Pour the liquid back into the jar with the pickles (you will have a little extra) and tightly screw the lid back on. Refrigerate for at least 5 days before eating, giving the jar a shake once every 1 to 2 days.
