Can I Use Brown Sugar Instead Of White Sugar In Tea
Olivia Luz
In most baking recipes you can substitute brown sugar for white sugar in a one to one ratio.
Using brown sugar instead of white sugar won t affect the sweetness of the finished product but it does alter the taste a bit. Powdered sugar isn t typically used for simple beverage sweetening. To produce brown sugar commercially molasses must be added to traditional white sugar which makes up between 4 7 of the resulting product. This can impart a slightly acidic bite and a mildly bitter flavor but it s typically not pronounced enough to detract from the quality of the food.
So if your recipe calls for 1 cup white sugar swap 1 cup brown sugar. You can get white sugar in regular granulated form or finer ground as icing sugar or confectioner s sugar. Brown sugar has a stronger flavour and compliments coffee whereas white refined sugar complements tea. Yes brown sugar can be used with tea.
The darker the brown sugar the more the molasses flavor comes through. White sugar is the most common sweetener used in tea or coffee. Adding brown sugar to tea though could overpower the delicate taste of tea.
