Black Sugar

Have you ever heard of "black sugar"? I mean, you know brown sugar, and white sugar, powdered sugar and granulated sugar... but do you recall the most famous sugar of all?

Well, maybe not famous.

First of all, black sugar is not molasses. Though, it is made with molasses, I think.

Erabu is FULL of sugar cane. And about now is when the sugar cane harvest starts.

So, I've been invited (by my Thursday middle school) to make black sugar with the second graders (American 8th graders). I am psyched!!

I'll be sure to take tons of pictures and video of the black sugar (and possibly molasses by-product) being made!

Exciting!!!

P.S. Recently, schools are so nervous about the flu that they now make students sit in rows, instead of groups during lunch. Also, no one can talk and everyone has to wear a mask. I wonder if me being so sick got them scared??
