Instructions

1. In a container, pour 100 ml of cold water, then add the agar agar. Mix with a whisk to dissolve it in the water.

3. Add the orange blossom.
4. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly pour the syrup into the egg whites, until the mixture cools down. Pour the preparation into a special marshmallow frame or a silicone dish, and cover it with parchment paper.
5. Let it rest for at least 1 day on your countertop.
6. The next day, cut squares from your mixture and roll them in powdered sugar.
7. Once done, let them dry again on your countertop for 2 days.
