The marshmallow is one of the oldest confections in the world. It was originally made using a plant called the marsh mallow. In Egypt it was a delicacy reserved for the royalty, but it was also a medicinal herb. The roots of the plant were boiled with sugar or honey. When it had thickened it was strained and allowed to cool.
