Reference: Clove sugar

Reference information:
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Britain, cloves were worth their weight in gold. Today, they are a spice that is used in cuisines all over the world. Originally from the tropical Spice Islands in Indonesia, cloves have become a popular feature in many countries' native cooking, in places as diverse and exotic as India and Mexico. Brought together here with organic, naturally-grown and pesticide-free sugar, Essential Cane Clove sugar will sweeten any dish and bring a vibrant taste of this well-travelled spice to the table.

http://www.essentialcane.com/clove_sugar

Used in cuisines all over the world, the flavorful spice of real cloves is blended with organic cane sugar in Essential Cane Clove sugar. The aroma and taste of whole cloves are captured ideally in a sprinkle-able, sweet topping. Very versatile, this sugar is easily added to hot drinks, grilled meats, sauces, and spiced desserts.
