In actuality that is how the sugary treat got its name, as Marshmallow root used to be the original major ingredient of the confection in its early history. If you do not have the time to decoct your own marshmallow root tea for an hour, keep this extract in your apothecary. The marhsmallow root is wonderfully demulcent*.
