Rose Meringues

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 285° F (140° C).
2. Separate the eggs and save the yolks for another use.
3. Pour the whites into a clean bowl.
4. Whisk on a low to medium speed until the whites begin to froth, then add the sugar one spoonful at a time until the whites become glossy and begin to peak.
5. Whisk in the rose water.
6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spoon the egg white mixture onto the tray.
7. Drip one or two drops of red coloring onto each meringue and then use a spoon to swirl the color in.
8. Set the tray in the middle of the oven and bake for 1 hour, then switch the oven off and leave the meringues there without opening the door for another 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
