In a medium saucepan, combine one packet of Kool-Aid (choose any flavor), 3 cups of granulated sugar, and 3 cups of water.
Set the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in 6 tablespoons of liquid pectin. Let the mixture return to a boil and cook for 1 additional minute, stirring continuously.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam on the surface with a spoon.
If you are making a single-flavor jelly, carefully ladle the hot mixture into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. If you want to create layered flavors, repeat the process with additional Kool-Aid packets of different flavors, allowing each layer to set slightly before adding the next layer.
Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
Let the jars cool completely at room temperature. Store them in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
Refrigerate after opening and enjoy your multi-flavored Kool-Aid jelly on toast, biscuits, or as a unique dessert topping.
