Yevhen Klopotenko shared a recipe for homemade marshmallows

Marshmallows are a very simple and delicious dessert made from fruit juice, berries, and applesauce. It's worth noting that the first marshmallows were made by the Egyptians back in 2000 BC. The most interesting thing is that back then it was made on the basis of a marsh plant root extract, and only pharaohs ate marshmallows. Nowadays, everyone can make this airy treat at home.

Culinary expert Yevhen Klopotenko has revealed the secrets of making delicious and unusual marshmallows with strawberries and cilantro, which he shared on a completely new YouTube channel (to watch the video, scroll to the end).
