How to Make It
1. Step
Make the cotton candy: Let the machine heat for 10 minutes before using, then turn off.
2. Step
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.
3. Step
Secure the skewer with the cotton candy to a table sign holder and set aside.
4. Step
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..
5. Step
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.
6. Step
Meanwhile, pour hot water into a teacup. Let sit to warm the cup until ready to serve.
7. Step
Pour the hot water out of the cup, then pour in the milk tea.
8. Step
Set the teacup beneath the cotton candy cloud and watch the rain fall.
