Kandi's merchandise

Kandis sweetens the tea and gives liqueurs a special flavor. The sparkling crystals refine cakes and desserts. Six delicious recipes of diamond.

As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, we look forward to a cup of freshly brewed tea - refined with a teaspoon of brown crystals . The sweet diamonds are also a pleasure in cakes and biscuits.

Kandis is not the same as Kandis . Not only visually, but also in taste, the sugar crystals of diamond sugar differ.

The white candy tastes with its fine sweetness in heavily flavored teas and home-made liqueurs.

The brown candy is heated in contrast to its bright counterpart first and then cooled again. So the sugary gem gets its golden brown color and its caramel taste. He refines mulled wine, liqueurs and chutneys.

If crumbs of 1-5 mm are broken out of the crystal crust, the easily soluble mucky Kandis is formed . Especially delicious in baked goods, salads and desserts.

Like its small siblings, the crust candy is broken out of the crystal crust - in larger pieces. Its full aroma refines tea blends and hot drinks of every kind.

The Kluntje Kandis is indispensable in any East Frisian tea ceremony. It takes 360 hours for the small sugar crystals to form a large Kluntje. The large Friesenkandis is traditionally enough for three cups of tea.
