> oh dear, I confused matters.  Icing sugar is powder - it has
crystals only under a microscope <snip> I wouldn't put sugar in my
tea, just milk, but if I did, in England it would be granulated sugar.
 Granulated sugar crystals are about twice as big as caster sugar
crystals.  Oh dear...

It shakes out the caster sugar...

Carol responds:

Thank you! How elegant. The casters look like expensive salt shakers
only bigger.

In the U.S. (where we use granulated sugar, or, rarely, sugar cubes)
for coffee or tea, we just have a sugar bowl (with a lid) and, often,
a matching creamer (cream pitcher):

Carol, who actually uses powdered creamer (Coffeemate) for her coffee
and rarely uses her creamer (unless she has guests who like milk in
their coffee--I don't 'cause it cools off the coffee!)
