You can use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. The syrup needs to reach the soft ball stage (around 240°F or 115°C) for the marshmallows to set properly.

You must use a stand mixer or hand mixer at high speed. This will take 10-15 minutes of whipping for the mixture to reach the right consistency.

Properly add the flavour to your marshmallows by incorporating extracts in the right amount. More extracts will make the mixture heavy and sour, while fewer extracts will taste bland.

Ensure your gelatin is properly bloomed by adding cold water and letting it sit for a few minutes. It makes it easier to dissolve.

You need to dust the top with cornstarch and powdered sugar. It helps to avoid sticking.

Allow the marshmallows to set and dry completely. Cutting them too early can end up in a sticky mess.
