How to Use Marshmallow Root Powder
✔ Marshmallow Root Tea (Hot or Cold Infusion): Cold Maceration: Add 1 teaspoon of marshmallow root powder to 1 cup of cold water and let steep for 4–8 hours for optimal extraction. Hot Infusion: Use 1 teaspoon per 8 oz (1 cup) of hot water, steep for 10–15 minutes, strain, and enjoy.
