India Tree Dark Muscovado Sugar
Conventional brown sugar is simply white, refined sugar moistened with molasses. On the other hand, raw muscovado sugar has a rich, earthy and almost smoky flavor, as well as a high molasses content. India Tree’s moist-textured variety, processed in Mauritius, can be substituted for dark brown sugar in any recipe (we tested this) or used to add extra flavor to coffee, tea or cocktails (perfect in an Old Fashioned).
Just Panela Granulated Panela Sugar
Here at Milk Street we have rediscovered more flavorful pantry items including flours, vinegars, oils, and salts. At the top of our list, however, is sugar. This raw, unrefined sugar from Colombia packs a complex, earthy flavor that’s terrific in everything from tea, coffee and cocktails to oatmeal or grapefruit. The bittersweet flavor also does well in savory applications, like a pot of Mexican beans or tomato-based pasta sauces. It will become your sugar bowl standard.
Mount Mansfield Pure Maple Sugar
This jar of maple sugar is made from pure organic Vermont maple syrup—and that’s it. As maple syrup connoisseurs, we adore the rich stuff from Vermont’s Mount Mansfield Maple: a family farm that harvests maple sap from over 1,000 acres of maple trees. To make the sugar, maple sap is cooked past the point of syrup until all water has boiled off and it crystallizes into solid granules. The taste is sweet, maple-forward with deep, toasty caramelized notes and a hint of vanilla. To use, simply sub it in for standard white sugar—it can be swirled into coffee or tea, used in marinades or rubs, sprinkled over veggies before roasting or added into all kinds of desserts and baked goods.
