Herb Club today was so much fun, we made marshmallows using marshmallow root. Its so amazing how awesome they taste. After making them I realized how much you could do with this recipe, how many variations you could try. Here is the recipe, have fun!!
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1 tablespoon Gelatin powder
2 T marshmallow root shredded
Directions
- Combine the marshmallow root with the water and infusion over night in the fridge or for 4 hours.
- Strain marshmallow root decoction.
- Warm the marshmallow decoction and add the honey to combine, remove from heat
- Add the Gelatin powder and whisk to combine.
- Now you will blend it. Take a mixmaster or an immersion blender with a whisk attachment and mix and mix and mix. It takes about 5 – 8 minutes for this part. Once the peaks form you are mixed.
- Pour this marshmallow cream into a pan, lined in greased parchment paper. Set in a cool place to set. Setting time takes 2 – 7 hours depending.
- Once set cut into squares with a sharp knife dipped in water.
Options: You could add elderberry or hibiscus flower with the marshmallow root to colour the marshmallows. You could line the parchment paper with a topping such as coconut or lavender sugar and then sprinkle this on top as well. The ideas were pouring out at herb club today. I can hardly wait for bonfire season to begin.
