Brown Sugar, Homemade
Why choose homemade organic brown sugar over store bought? Because it is half the price and super simple. I buy organic cane sugar and molasses in bulk. Mix them together and you have brown sugar. Easy as 1 (buy in bulk), 2 (mix), 3 (enjoy).
Ingredients
- 1 cup cane sugar organic
- 1 Tbsp molasses organic
Instructions
- Mix ingredients. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
*Need dark brown sugar, just double the molasses
