Coarse granulated crystals dissolve steadily in a pan of milk tea, while caster and icing sugar are milled finer so they vanish into butter for cakes, biscuits and buttercream.

Brown sugar, from pale demerara to dark soft muscovado styles, keeps some of the cane molasses, which gives flapjacks, fruit cakes and coffee a toffee note. Sugar cubes are for the tea tray and for guests who like to count their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone cutting back, table-top sweeteners come as granules for sprinkling and as tiny tablets that drop straight into a mug.
