Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Any plain granulated sugar works fine.
  • 5 drops food coloring (red, blue, yellow, green, purple) Use gel food coloring for intense colors. Neon or metallic options can also be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pour the granulated sugar onto a shallow plate to create a layer.
  2. Divide the sugar into separate bowls, each for a different color.
  3. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl of sugar and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  4. Once the sugar is colored, layer the different colors back into the shallow plate, creating a rainbow effect.
  5. Enjoy the colorful sugar as a fun addition to desserts or as a decoration!

Notes

Store any leftover colored sugar in an airtight container to prevent clumping. It can last for several months in a cool, dry place. Consider using flavored extracts to enhance the taste.
