I went to a health food store today, and noticed they had marshmallow leaves. Of course, I had to buy them. I mean, it was ~3 cups worth for only $5! That 3 cups is only 50g. This stuff is super light and fluffy.
First thing I did was add some to my chamomile homebrew sleepy tea. There’s chamomile, lemongrass, fennel, lavender, possibly marshmallow root, maybe even other things in there. I don’t remember, and I don’t feel like going back through my random steepings to figure it out. It’s just a bunch of stuff I don’t mind thrown together in not very well measured amounts.
This is nice. Really nice. It’s not as thin as it usually is. Even though I still can’t really taste anything, I get the impression of sweetness.
But, uhh, I have 3 cups worth. That’s a lot. What else should I do with it?
Edit: My last note came up when I posted. So this blend is:
- chamomile – lemongrass – lemon myrtle – marshmallow root – fennel – lavender, and now marshmallow leaves!

I love marshmallow leaves!
What about using a little vanilla extract or maybe some mint leaves or orange peel.
what a lovely creation :)
What do marshmallow leaves taste like?
CHAroma, right now I can’t tell since I have a cold. Delicate flavours are missing me completely!
Butiki, how about powdered vanilla beans? Mmm… I’ll have to play around. A vanilla orange marshmallowy tea would be tasty.
