Candy sugar consists of clustered sugar crystals that have been slowly heated. By adding caramel, the candy sugar gets a brown color. More than 300 years ago, candy sugar became world-famous thanks to the Dutch physician Boerhaave. He prescribed it as a remedy for sore throats. The fine candy sugar dissolves quickly and is therefore often used in tea, cappuccino, and Irish Coffee. These candy sugar sticks can be easily served with hot drinks. Brown candy sugar is also very suitable for making spiced pastries. The product has an unlimited shelf life and contains no gluten.
