And if you want sugar to dissolve more easily, use the smaller granules of caster sugar rather than the larger granules of ordinary white sugar :)

granulated sugar is the American term for ordinary sugar, just as their powdered sugar is our icing sugar.

I would definitely choose caster sugar then, because ordinary white sugar used for baking in the US is like our NZ caster sugar.(You can whizz up sugar in the blender to chop it into finer crystals).
