Ingredients:

Serving

4 tbsp marshmallows , roots
28 tbsp refined sugar
20 tbsp gum tragacanth (or gum arabic)
2 cups water ( of orange flowers for aroma
1 -2 egg white, well beaten

Directions:

Make sure the mallow roots aren't moldy or too woody. Marshmallow gives off almost twice its own weight of mucilaginous gel when placed in water.
Make a tea of marshmallow roots by simmering in a pint of water for twenty to thirty minutes. Add additional water if it simmers down. Strain out the roots.
Heat the gum and marshmallow decoction (water) in a double boiler until they are dissolved together. Strain with pressure.
Stir in the sugar as quickly as possible. When dissolved, add the well beaten egg whites, stirring constantly, but take off the fire and continue to stir. Lay out on a flat surface. Let cool, and cut into smaller pieces.
