If you want to sweeten a cold beverage (lemonade, iced coffee, whatehaveyou), regular granulated sugar will not dissolve effectively.
Some people ask for their iced coffee with the sugar melted…that is, they put the sugar in and essentially make an adhoc simple syrup with hot coffee instead of hot water, then fill with ice and chilled coffee.
I personally think that’s disgusting, because that automatically waters down the coffee. I’d rather have any of the flavor “shots” they offer, which is essentially just simple syrup plus flavor.
Or I’d just get artificial sweetener, because most of them dissolve better in cold beverages than regular sugar.
Coffee places use it pretty often. It mixes into the coffee better (considering it too is a liquid), but some people don’t like the way it feels on their tongue, or the slightly different taste. You can usually ask for granulated sugar though.
Wait…liquid sugar? That’s a thing? Since when?? 😭
It is usually called “simple syrup”
Simple Syrup.

It’s essentially filtered syrup and widely used in gastronomy, e.g. for cocktails.
It’s not filtered syrup, you take sugar and water, and then you reduce it on the stove a bit. It is called simple syrup if that’s what you meant
So glazing with extra steps?
Yes.
Need that in my life! Moar sugar :3
It’s super easy to make, it’s called simple syrup and it goes great with whiskey and lemon juice
