Ingredients
Servings
⅔ cups (167 ml)
  • ¼ cup (50 g) Redpath Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice, preferably freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp (2 g) fresh thyme leaves
  • 1⅔ cup (200 g) Redpath® Icing Sugar
  • ¼ tsp (1 g) salt
Instructions
Step 1

In a small pot, combine the Redpath Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar with the water, lemon juice, and thyme. Bring mixture to a simmer and stir to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and cover to allow the thyme to infuse into the syrup; 10 minutes.

Step 2

Strain syrup into a bowl. Discard thyme leaves.

Step 3

Sift the Redpath® Icing Sugar and salt into the syrup and gently whisk to combine.

Step 4

Use the thyme sugar glaze to dip or spoon over cooled doughnuts or pour over cakes. Set glazed items aside to harden; 5 to 10 minutes.

Chef's Tip

*Switch out the thyme and use any fresh herbs that are in season (eg. rosemary, basil, mint).

*For a stronger caramel flavour and darker colour to the glaze, replace half of the Redpath Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar with Redpath® Dark Brown Sugar (2 tablespoons/ 27 grams).

*For a thinner glaze, add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of water to the glaze until the desired thickness is reached.
