This is one of my favorite techniques to add a little variation to the flavors of simple syrup or sugar-based glazes.
Infused Cane Sugar
Ingredients
2 cups raw cane sugar (ideally it will be comprised of golden color granules)
Sachet for small herbs or flowers (use clean fabric from nylons or cheese cloth tied in a bundle)
1. Create a mix of fragrances to your liking (see options below)
2. Allow to age (infuse the sugar with flavor) for a few months before use
3. Use as a regular sugar replaceable in recipes
List of possible fragrance combos:
Best
- Vanilla bean (Orchidaceae)
Good, but use caution if you have other allergies
- Lavender (Lamiaceae)*
- Bergamont (Lamiaceae) or an Earl Gray teabag*
- Jasmine (Oleaceae) or a Jasmine teabag**
*Avoid if you have allergy to mint or oregano
**Avoid if you have allergy to lilac bush pollen
