  • Whisk

Materials

Instructions

  • Place the floss sugar and food coloring powder in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the two dry ingredients together until the color is evenly distributed. This can take a couple of minutes.
  • Do not blend. Blending or using an electric whisk will turn the sugar into powdered sugar.
  • Once the color is evenly distributed, add 1 tbsp into the middle of the machine. Be sure to follow the machine's instructions for proper use. 

Notes

Tip: Using another 1/4 tsp may impart flavoring due to the natural elements of our natural food coloring.
