> The first marshmallows were prepared by boiling pieces of root pulp with honey until thick. Once thickened, the mixture was strained, cooled, then used as intended.[4][5][6] ["How Marshmallows are Made" | Madehow](http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Marshmallow.html) ["Marshmallows" | National Confectioners Association](https://web.archive.org/web/20161213105105/http://www.candyusa.com/candy-types/676/) [The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets | Oxford University Press](https://doi.org/10.1093%2Facref%2F9780199313396.001.0001) It is truly astounding how many people will blindly listen to a lemmy comment instead of clicking on a link. But please, go on about how you're more of an expert on this subject than Oxford University lol
