Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cups (237 ml) cold water
- 2 1/4-ounce (7 g) packages unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups (473 ml) sugar
- 2/3 cups (158 ml) dark corn syrup
- 2 bags 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, add two gelatin packs, and let sit for 10 minutes. Prepare the whisk attachment.
- In a saucepan, bring sugar, dark corn syrup, salt, and the remaining cold water to a boil over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add two ginger spice tea bags and let them steep in the bubbling mixture. Using a candy thermometer, bring the mixture to 240°F (116°C).
- Once the sugar reaches 240°F (116°C), remove the tea bags with tongs and turn your stand mixer on low. Carefully and slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the mixer while whisking on low. Once the hot sugar mixture is added, gradually increase the speed to high for about 8 minutes, until the mixture is thick and fluffy.
- Using a spatula, scrape the marshmallow mixture into your prepared 8×8 pan and allow it to sit on the counter for at least 4 hours.
- Once set, flip the marshmallow brick upside down onto a cutting board sprinkled with powdered sugar and cut into desired shapes/sizes.
Notes
- For a stronger ginger flavor, steep the tea bags in the sugar syrup for a longer time, up to 10 minutes.
- If you don’t have dark corn syrup, you can substitute light corn syrup, but the marshmallows may have a slightly lighter color.
- To prevent sticking, generously dust all surfaces that come into contact with the marshmallow mixture with powdered sugar.
