So we know pineapple goes with mint sugar thanks to Jamie Oliver but what about some of the more savoury flavours from the spice drawer? I am always on the hunt for refreshing dessert (or breakfast!) options and these combinations really hit the spot. Try offering a little dish of each flavoured sugar to your guests and let them mix and match. There are no rules here!

oOo If you are feeling really brave, try swapping the sugar for sea salt flakes.
