Default Malto/Dextrose mixing question

So after over 2 months of bulking I finally read the "How to Bulk" sticky and realized that my diet is complete crap. I don't know how you guys eat like that sample plan, but I'm gonna give it a try. Anyway, I have a question about the PWO shake. Everything I read says to make a 50/50 mix of malto/dextrose with whey protein. I found what seems like a good brand of products (NOW) so I'm ordering up jugs of all 3 ingredients. The only thing that I wanted to verify is that the 50/50 mix refers to serving size, right? I mean there's 47g of sugar in a 1/2 cup serving of malto, but only 4g of sugar in a 1.25 tsp serving of dextrose. It would take 12 servings of the dextrose to equal the 47g of sugar, so that can't be possible, can it? And is this the easiest way to go? Or are there good pre-mixed powders out there that I don't know about? Sorry for the noob question, but this stuff gets confusing.
