How do I prepare a marshmallow root infusion with LEKRASET Altee juured 50 g? — Marshmallow Root 50 g - LEKRASET

To make a single cup of marshmallow root infusion, start by measuring 2 teaspoons of the crushed dried root into a cup and pouring 1 glass of water over it. The mucilage, a natural plant gel, passes into the water and gives the drink a silky texture. Let the mixture infuse for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After infusing, shake the infusion and strain it through a fine sieve to remove the root fragments. The resulting tea is mild in flavor, with a slightly sweet, earthy note that pairs well with a splash of honey or a slice of lemon if desired. Avoid adding strong spices or sweeteners that could mask the gentle coating effect of the mucilage.

Drink the infusion warm, in small sips.

Store any leftover liquid in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness. The root itself can be kept dry for future infusions, following the storage guidelines below.
