sugar like or sugar-like

To express "sweet", can I use "sugar like".
If so, what is the good spelling, "sugar like" or "sugar-like"?
  

Top answer

It would not be two words. It could be sugarlike or sugar-like , but since it is a coinage, I suggest the hyphenated version. It is not a natural synonym for 'sweet', however.
