Marshmallow Root Marshmallows
A nourishing twist on a classic treat, blending the soothing power of marshmallow root with honey, hormone-balancing botanicals, and amla for hair and vitality support.
Ingredients
1 cup marshmallow root infusion (divided: ½ cup for gelatin, ½ cup for honey)
¼ cup grass-fed beef gelatin
1 cup raw honey
40 drops hormone balance extract/tincture
2 tsp Indian gooseberry (amla) powder
Instructions
Make the Marshmallow Root Infusion
To the LEVO infusion machine, add marshmallow root and water and infuse for 2 or more hours.
In a small saucepan, simmer ½ cup marshmallow root in 1 ½ cups water for about 15–20 minutes.
Strain, reserving the liquid (you’ll need about 1 cup of strong infusion).
Bloom the Gelatin
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl), add ½ cup of the cooled marshmallow root infusion.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for 5–10 minutes to “bloom.”
Cook the Honey Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the honey with ½ cup of the marshmallow root infusion.
Heat gently until it reaches about 240°F (soft ball stage), then remove from heat.
Whip It Up
With the mixer running on low, slowly drizzle the hot honey syrup into the bloomed gelatin.
Increase speed to high and whip for 8–10 minutes until fluffy and light.
Add the Botanicals
Beat in the hormone balance drops and amla powder until well incorporated.
Set & Slice
Pour mixture into a parchment-lined pan and smooth the top.
Let set at room temperature (4–6 hours) or in the fridge until firm.
Slice into squares, dust with extra marshmallow root powder if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
These marshmallows are functional as well as fun — pairing the hydrating mucilage of marshmallow root with adaptogenic and hormone-supportive herbs.
