Ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?


Here we are. One full pound of pure, uncut, Mexican sugar. Brown gold. Tex-Mex tea sweetener. Piloncillo sugar that is. I plan on making a batch of 13th century lemon syrup for Pax and decided to get a full pound block instead of 2oz cones. Piloncillo is un-refined sugar, loaded with molasses and flavor. Mexican candy, like sugar skulls, are made with it and it adds so much more flavor than refined, white sugar. This isn't like the brown sugar you would get at the super market, which is refined, white sugar mixed with molasses and processed to be scoopable. This is a brick that has to be crushed, scrapped or cut up into pieces. All I need now are lemons. And when life gives you lemons, squeeze them in people's eyes and make them hate you.
