Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons powdered gelatin
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup chai tea leaves loose or in tea bags
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine the powdered gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom
In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and chai tea leaves
Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved
Once dissolved, let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the chai flavor
Strain the chai-infused sugar syrup into a separate bowl to remove the tea leaves
In a stand mixer bowl, pour the chai-infused sugar syrup and add the bloomed gelatin mixture
Using the whisk attachment, start on low speed and gradually increase to high
Whip for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy
In a separate bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt
Prepare a baking pan 9x9 inches by greasing it and dusting it with some of the confectioners' sugar and spice mixture
Once the marshmallow mixture is whipped and fluffy, add the vanilla extract and mix for another minute
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula
Dust the top with more of the confectioners' sugar and spice mixture
Let the marshmallows set at room temperature for 4-6 hours or overnight until they are firm
Once set, use a sharp knife or cookie cutters to cut the marshmallows into desired shapes
Toss the cut marshmallows in the remaining confectioners' sugar and spice mixture to prevent sticking
Enjoy your DIY Chai Marshmallows as a delicious treat or use them to enhance your favorite hot beverages!
