1
Prepare the Machine
Set up your cotton candy machine according to the manufacturer's instructions and preheat it for a few minutes.
2
Mix the Sugar and Coloring
If using food coloring, mix the granulated sugar with the food coloring in a bowl until the color is evenly distributed.
3
Make the Cotton Candy
Once the machine is ready, pour the sugar into the machine's spinning head. As the sugar melts and spins, use a cone or stick to gather the fluffy strands of cotton candy.
4
Serve
Continue to gather the cotton candy until you've made a large fluffy ball. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
