Simple Marshmallow Trick Revives Hardened Brown Sugar, Plus an Iced Coffee Recipe

A recent viral video by content creator @anguswannnn has unveiled a surprisingly effective method for softening rock-hard brown sugar. The video demonstrates that placing a single marshmallow in a sealed jar of hardened brown sugar overnight can restore its soft, usable texture. "I just learned that if your brown sugar is hardened like this, all you need to do is add a marshmallow into the jar," the creator explains.Following the successful sugar revival, the video transitions into a recipe for an Italian iced coffee. The creator combines the softened brown sugar with hot espresso, then adds frozen espresso cubes before shaking the mixture vigorously. The resulting frothy, strong coffee is then poured into a glass, with milk added to taste. While the sugar hack has garnered significant attention, the creator humorously notes the coffee is "super strong," advising against consuming "8 shots of espresso right when you wake up."
