Hi Katie!
The ratio only seems high until you consider how much cotton candy one cup of sugar yields! We made a lot of cotton candy with this small amount of sugar (about 8 servings) and we were aiming for a bold peach flavor. This is the amount we used for this particular extract, but feel free to use less if you would prefer your flavor to be a bit more subtle. We did notice that we needed less extract for citrus flavors; it all depends on your taste.
Happy flavoring!

Hi! I would love to try cotton candy!! Just curious why it takes an entire Tbsp of extract for just one cup of sugar. That seems like a high (and expensive!) ratio!
