Marshmallow Root Tea: A Sweet Sip of Ancient Healing

Yes, the marshmallow really is from the marshmallow plant. That’s what I say every time some asks me about the marshmallow, which is a lot. It may be the name or the sticky texture that equates the marshmallow with something other than a plant. Even stranger (to them) is the marshmallow’s credible background.

The marshmallow plant, or Althaea officinalis, is a relative of the hollyhock, with pastel-colored, papery flowers. The plant, especially its roots, have a sticky substance that once gave the marshmallow its taste and texture. Today, the root is widely available as a tea: the mucilage is like a syrup in hot water but thickens into a strangely sweet gel when cool.

The plant originated in Europe and West Asia where the ancients used it to treat coughs and sore throats. The marshmallow was also a sweet where the Ancient Egyptions boiled with sugar or mixed with honey around 2000 BCE. The result must have been very thick, very sweet, and very hard to make given the stickiness of the plant.
