Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the
juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle,
then strained it again. The cane juice was now poured
into molds with holes in the bottom, so that all the liquid
could drain out, leaving only a powder. That powder
was then mixed with milk and boiled again. After one
round of these steps, the process was repeated all over
again. As a result of all this effort and care, Egypt was
known for the "whitest and purest" sugar.
