Prep Time35 minutes
Set time4 hours
Total Time4 hours 35 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 25 marshmallows

Equipment

  • 8x8 pan
  • Hand or stand mixer with whisk attachment
  • silicone spatula
  • Saucepan
  • candy thermometer

Ingredients

  • 3 packages unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup chai tea concentrate divided in half
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch

Instructions

  • Combine cornstarch and powdered sugar.
  • Line 8x8 pan with parchment paper, and cover the bottom and sides with half of the cornstarch mixture.
  • Put gelatin and first ½ cup chai tea concentrate into a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Heat sugar, corn syrup, and the other ½ cup of chai tea concentrate covered over medium-high heat for approximately 4 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue heating until the mixture reaches 240 F.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Begin beating the gelatin mixture with the whisk attachment of the mixer, and very slowly pour in the syrup mixture.
  • Increase the mixer to high speed (do this slowly to avoid splatter!) and beat an additional 13 minutes.
  • Spread the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining cornstarch mixture over top of the marshmallow mixture.
  • Let set for 4 hours.
  • Cut into cubes with a greased knife, or use a greased cookie cutter to cut into shapes.

Notes

Put the gelatin and chai concentrate in the mixing bowl while you're heating your mixture. You'll want it to sit for at least 5 minutes before mixing.
To use a candy thermometer, clip it to the side of the saucepan and ensure the tip is in the mixture, but is not touching the bottom of the pan.
Grease your spatula with non-stick spray before spreading the mixture into the prepared pan. This will prevent the mixture from sticking to your spatula.
