Plus 2 hours for resting
- Steep hot water and all the spices together for 20 minutes. Strain.
- Place the gelatine and the spice mix in a large mixing bowl and stir. Let sit, until the gelatine swells or blooms.
- Put the Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar, golden syrup and the 200ml water in a large saucepan and stir to combine. Brush the inside of the saucepan with clean water to dislodge any stray grains of sugar. Bring to a boil, add a sugar thermometer and keep cooking to a firm ball stage, 120C/248F.
- Whisking furiously with an electric whisk (or in an electric mixer), slowly add the sugar syrup to the gelatine mixture. Whisk thoroughly until thick and bubble-gum-like strands form. Stir in the brandy.
- Spray everything with a pan/cooking spray - including spatulas, brownie pan, spoons, hands, etc. to avoid sticking.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared brownie pan and spread evenly. Sift some cornflour/cornstarch over the top and let rest for 2 hours.
- Using a greased knife, cut the marshmallows into cubes and toss in cornflour/cornstarch. Sprinkle with edible glitter. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
