Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 chamomile tea bag
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried lavender buds (see Note)
  • 1 1/4 cups raspberries
  • 3/4 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup 2-percent Greek yogurt

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 250 and position a rack in the lower third.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar at medium speed until frothy.
  • Beat in 3/4 cup of the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the meringue is thick and glossy; scoop into four 4 1/2-inch mounds onto the prepared sheet.
  • Using the back of a spoon, make a well in the center of each mound; bake for 1 hour, until crisp but still chewy inside.
  • Turn off the oven and prop the door open; let cool for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and the water and bring to a boil; remove from the heat.
  • Add the chamomile tea bag and lavender and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup into a bowl.
  • Let stand until the syrup is cool.
  • In a bowl, gently toss all of the berries with 1/4 cup of the syrup.
  • Top the meringues with the yogurt and berries.
  • Drizzle with the remaining syrup and serve.
