Candy Cane Sugar Recipe: How to Make Delicious Peppermint-Infused Sugar
Are you ready to embark on a festive and adventurous culinary journey? Get ready to create a homemade holiday-inspired treat that is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. Introducing the Candy Cane Sugar recipe, a delightful blend of peppermint-infused sugar that will elevate your desserts, beverages, and even savoy dishes to a whole new level.
Imagine the sweet aroma of peppermint filling your kitchen as you prepare this delightful sugar. The vibrant red and white colours of the candy cane will add a touch of holiday cheer to any dish. Whether you're baking cookies, making hot cocoa, or even seasoning a roast, this peppermint-infused sugar will be your secret weapon.
So, how do you make this delectable treat? It's surprisingly simple. Start by gathering the following ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4-5 candy canes
Crush the candy canes into small pieces, either by using a food processor or placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. You want the candy canes to be finely crushed but not completely powdered.
In a bowl, combine the crushed candy canes with the granulated sugar. Mix well until the candy cane pieces are evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and let it sit for at least 24 hours. This will allow the peppermint flavor to infuse into the sugar, creating a delightful blend of sweetness and freshness.
Once the 24 hours have passed, your Candy Cane Sugar is ready to be used. Sprinkle it over cookies, cakes, or even a warm bowl of oatmeal. Stir it into your coffee or tea for a festive twist. The possibilities are endless!
Not only does this Candy Cane Sugar taste amazing, but it also makes a wonderful homemade gift. Package it in a decorative jar, tie a festive ribbon around it, and voila! You have a thoughtful and delicious present that will impress anyone.
