Description
Let the flavors of the season sneak into everything you make. For a sweet, seasonal delight, whip up a batch of ginger tea infused marshmallows.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup of cold water (divided)
- Two 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
- 2 Ginger Spice Celestial Seasonings Tea bags
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with cooking spray and dust with powdered sugar, set aside.
- Pour 1/2 cup cold water into the bowl of a kitchen stand mixer and next pour two gelatin packs on top, let sit for 10 minutes. Prep with whisk attachment.
- In a saucepan bring sugar, dark corn syrup, salt and the remaining cold water to a boil over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add two ginger spice tea bags and allow to step in the bubbling mixture. Using a candy thermometer, bring mixture up to 240 degrees F.
- Once sugar reaches temp, remove tea bags with tongs and turn your stand mixer on low while carefully and slowly pouring hot sugar mixture while whisking on low. Once hot sugar mixture is added, gradually increase the speed to high for about 8 minutes until mixture is thick and fluffy. Now trust me when I say this – it won’t feel like it’s going to turn fluffy. Patience…magic happens at the 8 minute mark.
- Using a spatula, scrape marshmallow mixture into your 8×8 pan, and allow to sit on the counter for at least 4 hours. Once set, flip marshmallow brick upside down onto a cutting board sprinkled with powdered sugar and cut into desired shapes/sizes.
Notes
These spiced marshmallows are perfect on their own – wrap them up with twin and pass out to friends for easy but unexpected holiday gifts.
But if you’re looking for a little extra wow over the holidays we put ours on top of mini pumpkin cakes drizzled with a hearty layer of sour cream frosting (don’t forget the shaved chocolate, orange zest and crushed pistachios) for the perfect multi-layered bite!
