Sugar is quite good, but it's quite unfortunate that human are abusive. There are some things that do not need Sugar before it's tasty, but our greed has led us to juvenile diabetes and other consequences. May God deliver us!
My advice is that we should be more careful about sugar, because there are some things that have natural taste without sugar in it.

@nela13 Its raw sugar in candy form. Brown sugar and raw sugar looks the same but they are two different animals.

In the picture you shared it look like brown sugar that is why I asked. I never heard about this raw sugar but I will search it here. Is it healthier?

[Netherrealmer]

Yes its healthier.

Raw sugar looks like this:


brown sugar is is white sugar with Molasses!



Due to mistranslations though some countries markets Raw Sugar as brown sugar.

Beet sugar and Monk fruit looks the most promising. I do use white sugar, but try to keep it on a lower side. Unfortunately not everyone in the family thinks on similar terms.
We also have jaggery but still we do not use it that much.

From what I know Jaggery is a candied form of pure cane sugar, So its basically raw sugar and its better than white sugar as well.

Yes Jaggery is good in sugar control. However, we do not use Jaggery with milk or tea in conformity with some Ayurvedic principles that we follow.

I love to prepare and consume sweet iced tea!

My family physician mentioned a little honey.

Just not sweet enough.

I like my sweet iced tea really sweet.

What should I use?

I really have decreased drinking sweet iced tea though.

[Netherrealmer]

everything on the list can make sweet ice tea

What is the healthiest though?

By the way, I hate Stevia.

[Netherrealmer]

You can recommend honey, monk fruit, and the new popular ones, which is agave sugar, but raw sugar is also good.

Why not just leave it in it's rawest form.

Apparently, white sugar have this clean, sweet taste, while raw sugar is a more deeper, smoky flavor, while brown sugar is for pies and rice desserts

I'd really like to try the jaggery. I did a Google search to see if I could get it locally and people say it's mainly found in Indian-ownded shops, so that's where I'll be heading LOL I just know there's no chance of finding raw sugar here
