Ingredients
  

For the Frappe
  • 1 cup Fresh Lemons Fresh juice is preferable for best taste.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Consider using honey or agave for a natural sweetener.

For the Meringue Topping
  • 2 large Egg Whites Ensure they’re at room temperature.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Use superfine sugar for quicker dissolving.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Optional but recommended for perfect texture.

Equipment

  • citrus juicer
  • blender
  • Mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • large pitcher

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by squeezing fresh lemons to extract about 1 cup of juice, ensuring no seeds make their way into your blend.
  2. In a large pitcher, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and water until the sugar fully dissolves.
  3. Add approximately 4-6 cups of crushed ice to the pitcher or use a blender for a slush-like consistency.
  4. In a clean mixing bowl, whip 2 egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually add in 1 cup of granulated sugar while continuing to beat until achieving a glossy and stable meringue.
  6. Once your frappe is blended, pour the mixture into chilled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. Top each glass with the fluffy meringue, and optionally garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint leaves.
  8. Enjoy immediately for the best experience while it’s still cold and frosty.
