Make your own marshmallows (very old)

?si=PHpzREHTVrv8O7w2


For the Infusion:
4 tbsp marshmallow root
4 cups water
Let the mixture infuse overnight, then strain the next day.

Marshmallows:
2 ½ tbsp gelatin (or 2 tbsp agar-agar powder or 10 sheets of gelatin)
1 cup marshmallow infusion
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup honey or agave syrup
1 tsp slippery elm powder
Optional: 1 tbsp natural color (e.g., beetroot, matcha, pea flower) and 5 drops of edible essential oil
Arrowroot powder for dusting

Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of the marshmallow infusion with the gelatin. Let it bloom for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a pot, mix the remaining ½ cup of infusion with 1 cup of your chosen sweetener. Bring to a boil and cook on medium-high heat for 9 minutes.
In another bowl, mix the slippery elm powder, vanilla extract, and (if using) the natural color powder.
Add the bloomed gelatin to this mixture, then pour the hot syrup on top.
Using a mixer at high speed, whip the mixture for 8–10 minutes until it becomes fluffy.
Line molds with parchment paper and dust with arrowroot powder. Pour the fluffy mixture into the molds and let it set for 4–5 h
