250 g caster sugar
0.5 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions
STEP 1/3
Add aquafaba and caster sugar into a saucepan.
Simmer on a medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has reduced to 400 g.
Tip: Weigh the mixture after cooking to ensure it has reduced to less than 400 g. If it is over 400 g, cook for longer.

STEP 2/3
Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 85ºC.

Mix for 5 minutes on speed Max, until the mixture is light with firm peaks.
Tip: Start on speed Min and gradually increase speed.
Then add food colouring paste of your choice.
Tip: Ensure you use a food colouring paste as water-based food colouring can affect the results.
Tip: Alternatively, divide the meringue into four equal parts to make different colours of kisses.
Mix for 30 seconds on speed Max until combined.
Tip: Start on speed Min and gradually increase speed.
STEP 3/3
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip.
