You will need:
6 to 10 packets of Kool-Aid powder (can use cheap brand)
Plastic cups (Red Solo cups work great!)
1/2 cup water for each plastic cup
2 tbs white vinegar for each cup (optional)
eggs (hard boiled and cooled to room temp)
Directions:
Pour 1/2 cup water in each plastic cup. Add one pack of Kool-Aid and mix well.
Add 2 tbs of white vinegar (optional) to each cup to give eggs a marbled look.
