How To Make Flavored Sugar
Simply add 1 cup of sugar to a small glass jar, then add in the additional ingredients and shake. Over time the ingredients release their essence into the sugar and give it a wonderful scent and flavor. It’s best to mix your Flavored Sugar Recipes several days in advance. However, if you are in a pinch for time, one day ahead will work.

Flavored Sugar Tips and Tricks
You can use plain granulated sugar, turbinado sugar, palm sugar, date sugar, any kind you like. But remember, the course sugars work best with moist add-ins because the are less likely to dissolve. If adding wet ingredients to your Infused Sugar Recipes, shake them well in a larger container, then let them air dry. They will clump a little while drying, so shake again to break up the clumps before jarring. You can even use culinary grade flowers like lavender and rosebuds.
