How To Use Maple Sugar To Make Maple Ice Cube
For starters, I typically only use maple sugar, honey or maple syrup in my baking. I find these alternatives better because they are not processed, and a little goes a long way. Maple sugar specifically has less sugar, carbs & calories than regular white sugar. Keeping maple sugar in the open helped me learn to use it instead of sugar. Now when someone asks for sugar I go get the maple sugar, and then ask if they would prefer white sugar.
Using maple sugar is easy – use it how you would use sugar! Typically I use about 1/2 cup or less of maple sugar per 1 cup of white sugar. I recommend starting small with the maple sugar, and tasting as you go. You can always add more maple sugar if you need more sweetness.
For this recipe, you don’t need to make a simple syrup, we are looking to get the water hot enough to dissolve the maple sugar. You will have a lightly golden color water when complete. Allow the mixture to cool, then pour into ice cube trays. Once frozen, use the ice cubes in a mocktail like this gin mocktail!
