Ingredients:
Recipe Adapted from: Priya's Versatile Recipes

Egg large whites - 3

Caster/ superfine sugar - 3/4 cup

Salt - 1/8 tsp

Rose essence - 1/4 tsp

Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp

Pink food color - 1/4 tsp

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 160 C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean a glass bowl with vinegar. In the bowl, beat the egg whites on low-medium speed with a hand-held beater until foamy.
Add salt and continue to beat the whites until they hold soft peaks.
Then add sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat, on medium-high speed, until the meringue holds very stiff peaks.
Beat in the vanilla essence, rose essence and the pink food color.
Place a little of the meringue on the underside of each corner of the parchment paper to prevent the paper from sliding.
Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a rosette tip. Pipe them, not leaving much space, as they won't spread.
Bake the meringues for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The meringues are done when they are pale in color and fairly crisp. The meringues will release easily from the parchment paper.
Turn off the oven and open the door a crack, and leave the meringues in the oven to finish drying completely.
