Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) is a classic botanical with a long history of use in traditional herbal preparations. The dried root has a mild, slightly earthy flavor and is especially known for its naturally high mucilage content, which develops a smooth, soothing texture when infused in water.

Marshmallow root is an excellent addition to a well-stocked botanical collection and can be used on its own or combined with complementary herbs and roots.

Common Uses:

• Herbal teas and infusions
• Cold-water infusions
• Tinctures and extracts
• Botanical and herbal blends
• Syrups and traditional herbal preparations
• Craft beverage experimentation

Its mild character pairs especially well with botanicals such as licorice root, peppermint, lemon balm, elderflower, and other aromatic herbs.
