Citrus Sugar: A Bright and Sweet Pantry Staple

Citrus sugar combines gentle sweetness with a fresh burst of citrus. It is an easy way to add brightness to baked goods, fresh fruit, breakfast, and drinks.

It works especially well when you want something sweet that still feels light and fresh.

Sweet dishes

Citrus sugar pairs beautifully with vanilla, berries, coconut, and simple baked treats.

Try it:

• Sprinkled over muffins or scones before baking

• Used in sugar cookies or shortbread

• Added to pancakes, waffles, or French toast

• Stirred into oatmeal or yogurt

• Sprinkled over strawberries, peaches, melon, or blueberries

• Mixed into whipped cream

Drinks

Citrus sugar can also brighten both hot and cold drinks.

Try a small spoonful:

• In hot or iced tea

• Stirred into lemonade

• Added to sparkling water

• Around the rim of a cocktail or mocktail glass

Keep a jar nearby and try it wherever you would normally use plain sugar. A little citrus can make something familiar feel fresh again.
