Coloured sugar is basically and obviously sugar with a different colour. Internet is an interesting trap. I was watching some videos when one of the suggestions by dear YouTube told me about Homemade Coloured Sugar. I saw it and dismissed it because it was too simple to be true. But the curious me… did not let it go so easily and I ended up making it. It is a very versatile ingredient. I generally use it on the cup cake icing, on the cookies, yog urt, fruits etc. But before you decide to bake with the sugar i.e. sugar coated cookies etc, do not risk the whole batch. First bake 1 cookie to be sure. Use Homemade Coloured Sugar to decorate the mock tail glasses or glasses for drinks or shakes. Just dip the rim of the glass in any liquid (that compliments your drink) and then in some coloured sugar. I did this for serving custard milkshake and it was a great hit.
I have used castor sugar. You can use granulated sugar. I used the gel colours. You can use some other colours such as liquid ones. At times the sugar gets lumps. Just let it dry for some time and it will be free flowing.
1. Do the preparations. Get ready with some zip lock bags, toothpicks, food colourings and 1 cup sugar.
2. Add 1/4 cup sugar in a ziplock bag and get rid of any lumps.
3. Take some food colouring on the tip of a toothpick.
4. Add it to the sugar.
5. Pinch and pinch.
6. Add more colour, if required. For 1/4 cup castor sugar, I dipped the toothpick tip twice to get the colour I wanted. Gradually add colour till you are happy with it.
7. Mix till you are happy with the results. There shouldn’t be colour deposits anywhere.
8. If there is a clot of colour,
9. just pinch more so that the colour get distributed uniformly.
10. Pinch, mix.
11. You can make colour by combining any two colours.
12. Once you see uniformity, it’s done
13. Let it dry for some time.
14. Pack it for future use.
15. Tadaa..
