*You can use this chai concentrate diluted without the added sugar or simply brew 3 bags of store-bought chai tea.
If you don't have a stand mixer simply use the wire whisps on a hand mixer. Your arm will be a bit tired but you'll still have tasty marshmallows, that is how I made my marshmallows for several years before switching to my Bosch.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, there is an easy way to test when you have reached the "soft candy ball stage". Simply keep a small bowl of very cold water nearby, the colder the better. Once the syrup has been boiling for 8-10 minutes, take a spoon and drizzle a small amount into the cold water. The syrup should form a ball that when cooled in the water that can be taken out, holding its shape when pressed.
Please use caution when making these marshmallows. The syrup will become very hot and will burn you if spilled. Hot syrups are almost impossible to wash off the skin and will continue to burn long after it comes in contact with your skin.
