| *Tip: 1 Tablespoon of molasses will give you light brown sugar. 2 Tablespoons will give you a slightly darker brown sugar. The more molasses you use, the darker your sugar will be in colour. |
- Mix the molasses and white sugar together with your hand until all the white sugar is completely brown in colour.
