Hmmm, it has a lot of sugar, but for a special treat maybe my kids CAN

eat marshmallows if I make these (I refuse to let them eat the ones from

the grocery store ;)

 

I bet this recipe would be yummy with rose hydrosol too!

 

Enjoy :)

Recipe for Marshmallow sweets

 

Make sure the mallow roots aren't moldy or

too woody. Marshmallow gives off almost

twice its own weight of mucilaginous gel

when placed in water.

 

4 tablespoons marshmallow roots

28 tablespoons refined sugar

20 tablespoons gum arabic

Water of orange flowers (for aroma or

instead of plain water)

2 cups water

1-2 egg whites, well beaten

 

Make a tea of marshmallow roots by simmering

in a pint of water for twenty to thirty

minutes. Add additional water if it simmers

down. Strain out the roots. Heat the gum and

marshmallow decoction (water) in a double

boiler until they are dissolved together.

Strain with pressure. Stir in the sugar as

quickly as possible. When dissolved, add the

well beaten egg whites, stirring constantly,

but take off the fire and continue to stir.

Lay out on a flat surface. Let cool, and cut

into smaller pieces.
