You want to make a solution of "potassium iodide...."?

Explanation:

KI is quite soluble in water, to the tune of 140*g of salt per 100*mL of water........

So pours your water onto the salt, and let it rip......

The addition of potassium iodide to a water slurry of iodine can bring the iodine up into solution as KI_3,

I^(-) + I_2(s) stackrel(H_2O)rarrI_3^-
