🍯 Ingredients, Measurements & Crafting: (Makes 1 cup)
1 cup granulated sugar (your choice of: coconut sugar, cane sugar, organic white sugar, or low-cal alternatives like allulose)
1–2 tablespoons molasses
1 tbsp = light brown sugar
2 tbsp = dark brown sugar
Healthier options:
• Coconut sugar + molasses
• Allulose + molasses (for low-cal, low-glycemic)
• Organic cane sugar + molasses (for cleaner ingredients)
🍳 Crafting Instructions
Place sugar in a mixing bowl.
Add molasses on top.
Mix with a fork or hand mixer until thoroughly combined and the color is even.
Adjust color and flavor:
Add more molasses for deeper color & richer taste.
Add a touch more sugar if it’s too dark.
Store immediately in an airtight jar.
Tip for soft, fluffy sugar
Add a small piece of bread or an apple slice to the storage jar for 12–24 hours to keep brown sugar from hardening.

Storage:
Room Temperature Up to 6 months in an airtight container. Keep away from humidity and sunlight. Fridge Not recommended — moisture causes clumping. Freezer Optional: up to 1 year. Store in a freezer-safe bag, press out the air, and thaw before use. Keeping it soft, add bread, a marshmallow, or a terracotta sugar saver disk.
