Why These Marshmallows Are Special
Most marshmallows are just sugar and air, but our herbal marshmallows are different! They’re made with:
- Hibiscus – A superhero flower rich in antioxidants that gives these marshmallows a beautiful pink hue and a subtle tartness.
- Marshmallow Root – Not just a fun name! This ancient herb is known for its gut-friendly, skin-loving, and soothing properties.
- Pure Maple Syrup – A natural sweetener that makes these marshmallows taste like a warm hug!
- Pasture-Raised Gelatin – For that bouncy, fluffy texture, plus a boost of protein and gut health benefits.

Your little chefs will love helping out with this fun recipe!
Step 1: Make the Magic Potion (Cold-Water Infusion)
Before we make the marshmallows, we need a special herbal infusion that brings all the goodness together.
What You Need:
✔ 2 tbsp Marshmallow Root
✔ 2 tbsp Hibiscus Flowers
✔ 2 ½ cups Cold, Filtered Water
How to Make It:
- In a big jar, mix marshmallow root and hibiscus.
- Pour in cold water and let it sit for at least 4 hours (or overnight for extra magic!).
- Strain the herbs and keep 1 cup of the infusion for the marshmallows.
Step 2: Make the Fluffiest Marshmallows
Now for the fun part—turning this potion into soft, bouncy marshmallows!
Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup Pasture-Raised Gelatin
- 1 cup Hibiscus & Marshmallow Root Infusion
- 1 cup Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional, for extra yumminess!)
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt
How to Make It:
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a mixing bowl, sprinkle gelatin over the hibiscus & marshmallow root infusion. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Heat the Maple Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring maple syrup to a boil for about 1 minute.
- Whip It Up: Start mixing the bloomed gelatin at low speed, then slowly pour in the hot syrup while whipping. Turn up the speed and whip for 5-7 minutes until it’s fluffy, tripled in size, and looks like soft clouds! Add vanilla and salt.
- Pour & Set: Quickly pour into a greased dish (8x8 works well) and smooth it out.
- Let It Rest: Leave it uncovered for at least 2 hours to set.
- Cut & Enjoy! Slice into squares, store in an airtight container, and snack away!
