Ingredients

1 x 60ml red espresso® Rooibos shot
2 tbsp castor sugar
3 large egg whites
Pinch salt
Pinch cream of tartar
2 tbsp dried cranberries, plus extra to garnish
1 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted, to garnish
Icing sugar, to serve

Instructions

Prepare red espresso® ground Rooibos – as you would coffee – using your coffee appliance:
Preheat oven to 120 degrees
Place red espresso® Rooibos and castor sugar in a small pot and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to boil quite vigorously for three to five minutes to form a thick syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely
Using an electric beater, whisk egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. With the motor running, slowly add the syrup and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy, and all the syrup has been incorporated. If you turn the bowl over, the meringue shouldn’t budge
Fold in the cranberries. Spoon mixture onto lined baking trays and bake for an hour and a half, or until the meringue shells have set. Turn off the oven and leave the door closed until completely cool
Sprinkle with cranberries and almonds, and dust with icing sugar before serving
