rock sugar
Solid candy crystals
Rock sugar is sugar crystallized into large, irregular chunks rather than fine granules.
It dissolves slowly, making it popular for sweetening tea and coffee without overwhelming sweetness.
In Asian cuisines, rock sugar adds a subtle gloss to braised dishes and sauces.
Also called rock candy when sold as a confection.
