Years ago I created my <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/marshmallow-recipe\/\">basic marshmallow recipe <\/a>(with optional probiotics!) and I\u2019ve done a few spin-offs from there. This rose marshmallow version features heart-supportive herbs, like roses and hibiscus petals, and is naturally sweetened with honey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Add a square of dark chocolate and some homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/elanaspantry.com\/paleo-graham-crackers\/\">grain-free graham crackers <\/a>for a delicious s\u2019more. Or eat them straight out of the pan. They\u2019re sweet with a hint of tangy floralness that makes a great dessert, no matter how you eat them.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-your-heart-with-rose-marshmallows\">Love Your Heart With Rose Marshmallows<\/h2>\n<p>Marshmallows probably aren\u2019t the first thing you think of when it comes to heart health. While we do limit sweets, my rule is any dessert has to have some nutritional value. My original version includes real marshmallow root and probiotics for gut health. I\u2019ve also made elderberry marshmallows and matcha marshmallows with beneficial herbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to do something fun for Valentine\u2019s Day and heart supportive herbs came to mind! You don\u2019t have to save these for just Valentine\u2019s Day though. They make a great treat all year long.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rose-petal-benefits\">Rose Petal Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Most of us envision a bouquet of roses for special occasions, but they\u2019re more than just a pretty flower. Rose petals have a lovely floral taste and smell. You can make <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/beauty\/rose-water\/\">rose water<\/a> or hydrosol, rose tea, and other edible things with roses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rose is known for its ability to support the heart emotionally, especially during times of grief and heartache. It\u2019s traditionally been used to help with trauma, depression, and overwhelm. Rose petals also support the nervous system, can help boost libido by balancing hormones and help regulate the menstrual cycle. Its volatile oils help ease pain and anxiety.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s a popular flower numerous rose cultivars are being sold. Wild rose or R<em>osa damascena <\/em>have the most research behind their medicinal benefits. If you don\u2019t have wild roses available to forage or grow them in your garden, you can get rose petals from herbal stores. Avoid using roses from a florist as they\u2019re often sprayed with lots of chemicals and aren\u2019t safe to eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-heart-healthy-hibiscus\">Heart Healthy Hibiscus<\/h2>\n<p>Hibiscus has a nice tart flavor that helps balance out the sweetness of the honey. I like it in <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/herbal-mocktails\/\">these herbal mocktails<\/a> and I even use it in <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/remedies\/wild-cherry-bark-cough-syrup\/\">wild cherry cough syrup<\/a>. It\u2019s high in vitamin C and antioxidants, which give it its sour taste and bright red color.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It has traditionally been used to restore healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Hibiscus has a long history of being used to support cardiovascular health. It helps balance hormones and can also help regulate menstrual cycles thanks to its astringent actions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both rose and hibiscus are considered generally safe for most people, so I feel fine about giving them to my kids in food. If you have any medical conditions or any concerns with taking herbs though, be sure to discuss it with your natural healthcare provider.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-494872\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"494872\" data-servings=\"12\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-wm\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-intro\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150\" alt=\"Rose Marshmallows\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hibiscus-rose-marshmallow-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hibiscus-rose-marshmallow-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" src=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/remedies\/hibiscus-rose-marshmallows\/?tp_image_id=494878\"\/><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Hibiscus Rose Marshmallows<\/h2>\n<p>\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" style=\"display:block;width:0px;height:0px\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-33\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"33%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"33%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-50\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"50%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"50%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-66\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"66%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"66%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"display: block;\">These delicious hibiscus rose marshmallows are pillowy soft and naturally sweetened with honey.

I first make a strong herbal infusion, then add the gelatin to half of the herbal tea, and boil the other half with honey on the stove. Add the two mixtures together, whip, and you\u2019ve got marshmallows!<\/p>\n<p>Hibiscus naturally has a vibrant red color, but once the honey cooks and becomes darker the color isn\u2019t as noticeable. If you don\u2019t want off white marshmallows, you can add some natural red food dye for a pink hue. I used 50 drops of natural food color for a very subtle pink. It\u2019s not as strong as red dye #40, but I\u2019m ok with that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once the marshmallows are dried and cut, toss them in some powder so they don\u2019t stick to each other. You can use organic powdered sugar or arrowroot powder. I blended some extra rose and hibiscus petals with arrowroot in a coffee grinder for mine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Storage<\/strong>: These marshmallows will last about 2-3 weeks at room temperature. Do NOT store them in the fridge as they\u2019ll get too gooey and melt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you ever made homemade marshmallows? What are your favorite flavors to use?
