Cotton Candy Rain Cloud

Instructions

• Make the cotton candy: Let the machine heat for 10 minutes before using, then turn off.
• Add the yellow hard candy and superfine sugar to the machine, then turn back on. When you see the cotton candy web begin, hold a wooden skewer into the center at a 45° angle and spin to collect the candy. Once some candy has accumulated, hold the skewer horizontally to collect the rest, moving from side to side for even distribution.
• Secure the skewer with the cotton candy to a table sign holder and set aside.
• Make the royal milk tea: Add the tea leaves into a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over the tea so the leaves are just covered. Steep for 2–3 minutes..
• Add the milk, steeped tea, and sugar to a small pot over medium heat. Cover and bring to just below boiling. Uncover, stir, and strain to remove the tea leaves.
• Meanwhile, pour hot water into a teacup. Let sit to warm the cup until ready to serve.
• Pour the hot water out of the cup, then pour in the milk tea.
• Set the teacup beneath the cotton candy cloud and watch the rain fall.
• Enjoy!
