It dissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids, making it suitable for a range of applications. For baking, it can be used in place of sugar, but adjustments to the recipe may be necessary as it does not provide the same bulk or browning properties as sugar. Experiment with small amounts to find your preferred level of sweetness.
