Rock sugar combined with pear, orange peel or bitter almond can be used to treat cough and sore throat. Rock sugar (also called rock candy) is a type of confectionery mineral composed of large sugar crystals. It is used in traditional Chinese remedies for centuries, due to its cooling properties.
Common white table sugar, called sucrose, is made of two simpler sugars, fructose and glucose, joined together. Sucrose, which is naturally white, is usually derived from sugar cane or sugar beets. The process of extracting the sugar is the same for both: The juice is filtered to remove plant matter and boiled down. Whatâs left is a thick syrup from which sucrose starts to crystallize. The syrup is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the crystals, which then make up what is called raw sugar.
