What's in your Sugar Bowl? ~Day 3

I never realized how many different types of sugar there are, until I received the sugar from Wholesome Sweeteners for review. My husband and I, love our coffee. We've been trying out the Organic Turbinado Sugar this is a raw cane sugar, so it has bigger crystals. I've found in a hot drink this will dissolve quickly and make your drink very sweet of course. I've never really cared for drinking hot drinks, so I usually make my coffee or tea, then let it sit awhile to cool down. Yesterday, I was dying to try out this Organic Turbinado Sugar, so I made myself a cup of tea. I added the sugar while it was hot, then I let it sit for a while to cool down. I was drinking a flavored tea, which was a bold tasting tea. The sugar did it's job, adding it to the tea made it drinkable for me. I wouldn't be able to drink this tea with out sugar, so the turbinado sweetened like a charm!
