Kind of sugar (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
demerara
'kind of sugar' is the definition.
(I know that demerara is a type of cane sugar)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for demerara that I've seen before include "sugar - and alcohol" , "Sweet thing" , "Rum" , "sweetener" , "South American river - sugar" .)
