I just tried this and the marshmallows ...Hi there!! I just tried this and the marshmallows are setting now so we'll see how they turn out. I do have a couple requests for the information in this recipe though... <br /><br />First off, you said "1 heaping cup of water" but its a lot harder to make a cup of water heaping than say, flour... could you be more specific in what the amount should be? I did a cup of water plus a little bit more but when I simmered the decoction, so much had evaporated that I was left with only 2/3 decoction and ended up diluting it with water... I'm really hoping that it doesn't mess with the final product...<br /><br />The second thing is that it would be nice if you were a little more clear on what we're looking for when we whip it up right before we pour it into the pan. Should it be liquidy? Whipped like a whipped cream? Semi-solid? What are we looking for before we know we've whipped enough.<br /><br />Other than that, this recipe is great and I can't wait to see the final product!!!<br /><br />-JuniperJuniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182433562521451326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565176728519266788.post-68226879304755483802013-09-27T09:29:30.522-07:002013-09-27T09:29:30.522-07:00The marsh mallow root powder that I purchased at o...The marsh mallow root powder that I purchased at our local health food store is medium tan in color. The boiled water/marshmallow root resulatant liquid when strained in fine mesh is still tan in color. I am puzzled how to make lighter colored marshmallows. Yours are very light colored and attractive. Love your recipe photos and recipe. This does seem to be the best of the bunch.

I've tried to use agar agar but it doesn't work without an oil-less protein (like soy protein isolate which I avoid since it's overly processed). I don't have experience with tragacanth or arabic gum and don't know why it would be better to use those over beef gelatin. There are some vegan marshmallow recipes on the blogosphere if that is what you are looking for.<br />Hope that helps,<br />MaryMary Banduccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052364363031585433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565176728519266788.post-52325550232823496072012-11-30T12:46:59.632-08:002012-11-30T12:46:59.632-08:00Hi Mary

If your mint oil is essential oil or extract, you won't need 1/2 teaspoon. If it's essential oil, only use a couple of drops (and make sure its food grade). If its extract, I'd try 1/8 teaspoon. Otherwise it might taste like toothpaste.<br />Marsmallow root does have a definite marshmallow herbal smell. Sweet but also kinda herby.

First, I used a few drops of beet juice for color in the water. I did not have a candy thermometer so went for a "firm ball" consistency. They did not whip up very much and were only about 1/2" thick in my 9"x9" pan. I also used mint oil instead of vanilla for candy-cane flavor but they tasted like medicine. And the smell... I can't describe it but it was not a good funky and the taste was similar (even before the mint). I assume it is the marshmallow root (from Mountain Rose Herbs), but maybe the gelatin? Oh, which was pork gelatin by the way (Knox). I had a very difficult time getting the gelatin to dissolve too and had to blend it with the hand-blender. Anyway, they went in the trash but I will get a new thermometer and try again without the modifications next time!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756414888643260498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565176728519266788.post-84777268059793863592012-09-03T20:02:51.479-07:002012-09-03T20:02:51.479-07:00I cannot WAIT to give these a try!
