What is a "sugar spoon"?
A sugar spoon is a specialized utensil designed for serving and portioning sugar. It typically features a small, shallow bowl at the end of a handle, with a relatively flat and wide surface for scooping up granulated or powdered sugar. The bowl of the spoon is usually smaller than that of a regular teaspoon, allowing for precise portioning of sugar for beverages like tea or coffee. They are commonly made from materials such as stainless steel, silver, or ceramic, and they come in various designs to complement different tableware sets and preferences.
