If you are willing to spend some time and effort, we will tell you how to make sweet cotton wool in your kitchen.
Ingredients:

Before you can cook the cotton candy yourself, you need to stock up on everything you need, namely a pot or frying pan, in which you will cook with forks or chopsticks, which will serve as cotton wool holders.
Start cooking the home sweet candy with caramel , mix sugar, water and vinegar and pour the resulting mixture into prepared dishes. Put on the fire and heat, stirring all the time.

As a result, you should get a caramel golden color, a fairly thick consistency.
