You dont notice them until they have grown large enough to notice them. The answer is buy a pitcher you can easily clean between each batch. Don't reuse any food container that hasn't been properly cleaned.

This is usually the small amount of cornstarch used probably as an anti-caking agent and undissolved citric acid. Cornstarch doesn't dissolve in water but rather forms a suspension. Eventually it falls out of suspension. Citric acid, which is both a preservative and provides tartness, doesn't fully dissolve at room temperature and dissolves even less in cold water. The undissolved portion also falls to the bottom. If you want to see less "white stuff" in your Kool Aid, make it with very hot water though even at boiling it's only about 84% soluble. I'm old enough to remember Kool Aid without the white stuff and what "Don't drink the Kool Aid" means but I don't remember what the original ingredients were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366474871029120328.post-28635858018407272072019-05-10T20:40:22.610-04:002019-05-10T20:40:22.610-04:00This was never the case until recent years and no ...This was never the case until recent years and no matter how much I research, I can't figure out what this white stuff is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
