Description
Marsh Mallow root tea is a soothing, mildly earthy tea with it’s expected marshmallow flavored undertone. While the sugary puffed marshmallows you buy at the grocery store no longer contain the wonderful herbal root of the Marsh Mallow plant, it was the roots that gave us the original marshmallows in ancient Egypt. Marshmallow root tea can be consumed anytime or as needed, up to 3 cups a day.
