I want to make lemonade but I only have white sugar. Can I just subsitute the white sugar where the recipe asks for caster?

Which ever sugar you use, you should make a simple syrup, that means cook your water and sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, it will get rid of the raw sugar flavor. it makes a much nicer lemonade ,

Yes, caster sugar is a bit finer than normal white sugar, but for what you're doing it's fine.

it's the same, caster just dissolves a little easier in cold water. If you use hot water to dissolve the sugar first, then chill the whole thing, it will be all dissolved and not grainy when you get to the bottom of the pitcher.

The difference in the two sugars is the refining - this may alter the 'fine'ness but it also alters the flavour. You may be able to grind it (depending on what equipment you have) but remember that you will need less of the standard sugar than you would of the castor sugar. (To give you an ides - compare the sweetness and flavour of brown sugar to white sugar!)

Castor (I believe this is how it's spelled) is the same as white sugar. The texture may be a bit different but it is just white sugar.

I don't even know what caster sugar is!
