Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
- Place sugar, water, rose extract, cardamom, salt, and food coloring in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer the mixture for a minute or two, stirring constantly, and very slowly pour the syrup in a thin stream into the egg whites, beating constantly with electric mixer on high speed. Beat until the syrup is incorporated and the meringue is stiff and shiny.
- Drop by spoonfuls or pipe into rosettes with a star tip onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meringues are hard, 1 to 1 1/2 hours; turn off the oven, and allow them to cool inside the oven to finish baking the insides.

Tips:
- Use fresh egg whites: Fresh egg whites whip up better and hold their shape better than older egg whites.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature: This will help them whip up more easily.
- Whip the egg whites gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the egg whites start to foam.
- Whip the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks: This means that when you lift the whisk out of the egg whites, a peak will form and hold its shape.
- Add the sugar gradually: Adding the sugar all at once can cause the egg whites to deflate.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature: This will help them to dry out slowly and prevent them from cracking.
- Let the meringues cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Cardamom meringues are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and colors. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and delicious meringues that will impress your friends and family.
