Description

Story
Sugar crystals are widely used in India with aniseed as a mouth freshener, especially after meals. The two are often served alongside the check or bill in Indian restaurants. In Thailand, sugar crystals served the function of money, being easy to weight and divide into small increments. Sugar crystals were also used to make Sugar Skulls in Mexico to celebrate the Day of the Dead. Mexican children would make rock candy in the shapes of skulls by special strings and then decorate them with icing and jewels.
"The crystals look pretty in the bowl and taste great, but I think they're not that much different from regular sugar."
"I like these! They sweeten without adding any odd flavors. They took awhile to dissolve, but I just kept swirling them around in my cup until they did!"
"Well, I do not know how well they work to actually flavor tea, and that might have to do with me having added only a conservative amount (about five pieces at most) so far, and they take awhile to melt in a hot cup of tea. However, they make a good snack. Good as in tasty... probably not a good idea to be eating a lot of pure sugar, though. Heh. Just got a sampler anyway. "
"It took very few crystals to add just the right touch. I did not have a problem with them desolving in black tea, I put them in the bottom of the cup first and then added the tea."
"I love these for my tea. They give the tea a more mellow flavor than white sugar. Some have trouble getting them to dissolve, but I've found that if I put the crystals in and let them sit while the tea steeps, they dissolve just fine."
"These crystals taste great. I still prefer to use regular sugar (sugar in the raw actually) in my tea, but believe it or not they make a good treat when eaten plain."
