• Heat your oven to 100oC (fan).
• Place a layer of baking paper onto a baking tray.

  >Usually, I don't pay much attention to this step but for meringues, make sure the baking paper is nice and flat on the tray otherwise you might not get a very neat result!

  >You can't use foil here - has to be baking paper.

  >I recommend 3 or 4 meringues per baking tray
• Take the eggs and separate the white from the yolk. Add the whites to a CLEAN mixing bowl.

  >If you're not used to doing this, separate them one at a time in a separate bowl before adding all the whites to one bowl. Take it from me, its reaaaally annoying when you've separated 5 eggs and then on the last one, the yolk breaks and falls into your white and you have to start again!

  >The mixing bowl needs to be immaculate in order for the egg whites to whip up properly
• Whisk the egg whites until they reach STIFF PEAKS.

  >If you're not sure what that means, have a look at the pic just above this recipe.
  
• At this point, add about 1/3 of the caster sugar to the egg whites and whisk until JUST combined. Repeat for another 1/3. Then repeat for the final 1/3.

  >Don't over whisk!!! Let it get to the point where the sugar is JUST combined, no more!!
• Now, add 1/3 of the icing sugar and fold in using a big metal spoon/spatula. Repeat for another 1/3. Then repeat for the final 1/3.

  >Don't over whisk!!!
  

Add the flavourings

• If you're making both flavours, divide your mix into two bowls.
• To add the flavourings, I dot the flavourings around the top of the bowl, like the picture. Then, I very carefully fold the mix together 3 times.

  >It wont look properly marbelled yet, but when you move onto the next step, it will then marble nicely!
  

Cook them!

• Place 1 heaped tbsp of the meringue mixture onto the baking tray (like the meringue in the bottom right of this picture). Spread it out slightly and then pile another 1-2 heaped tbsp of the mix ontop (so it looks like the other two meringues in the picture)
  
• Repeat for the other 3 meringues.
• Place the baking tray into the over for 1hr 30mins.
• Check if they're cooked by doing this:

  1) Remove the baking tray from the oven.

  2) Pick up one of the meringues - was it easy to remove and is the bottom solid? If so, they're done! If not, place back into the oven for 10 mins and check again.
  
• Once they're cooked, turn the oven off and place the baking tray with the meringues back into the oven.
• Leave for an additional 30mins and then remove the meringues from the oven.
• Melt your chosen chocolate and drizzle over the meringues

  >I find it easiest to use a knife, dip it into the melted chocolate and wave the knife over the top of the meringue so it drips all over it :)
• Add some lemon peel/meringue sprinkles for decoration if you'd like to.
