things people ask

• How much maple sugar do I need to sweeten a cup of coffee?
  One teaspoon (about 3.25 g) is the typical single-mug dose, the same way you'd use granulated. The crystals dissolve in hot coffee within a few stirs. The maple flavor reads more strongly in black coffee than in lattes — milk and foam mute it, so you may want a second teaspoon if you're drinking it with steamed milk.
• Is one teaspoon of maple sugar the same sweetness as one teaspoon of white sugar?
  Close, but slightly less. A teaspoon of maple sugar is about 3.25 g against roughly 4 g for granulated, so you're getting around 80% of the raw sweetness — though the maple flavor compensates by adding perceived richness. In tea, the difference is barely noticeable; in something like an unsweetened yogurt, you may want a heaping teaspoon.
• Can I sub maple sugar for the sugar in a tea blend or chai mix?
  Yes, teaspoon for teaspoon, though the flavor will shift. Maple sugar pairs well with cinnamon, cardamom, and clove, so it slots cleanly into chai. It clashes more with green or jasmine teas where the floral notes are delicate. Don't confuse maple sugar with maple syrup here — syrup adds liquid that throws off a dry blend.
