Kluntjes

Kluntjes is a variety of rock candy or rock sugar that is commonly used as a sweetener for beverages in Germany. This rock candy is available in white (weißer kandis), and brown (brauner kandis) versions, the latter of which is obtained from caramelized sugar, and it can also be found in several different forms including single large crystals, a few smaller, joined crystals, or ground crystals.

Although kluntjes is traditionally used as a tea sweetener, especially in East Frisia, it can also be used for sweetening various other beverages such as coffee, punch, and mulled wine. This sweetener can be bought in almost every German supermarket.
