Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Tree Meringues

Preheat your oven to 100°C (210°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually add half the sugar, cream of tartar, and extract to the egg whites; mix until combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the remaining sugar gradually while whisking on medium-high speed for 6-8 minutes until glossy.
Gently fold in the green food coloring gel until evenly mixed.
Transfer meringue to a piping bag and pipe tall swirls onto the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle generously with red, green, and white sprinkles before baking.
Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave meringues inside to cool completely.
