| 6 tablespoons honey | 6 tablespoons white wine | 4 large egg whites, at room temperature |
| pinch salt or cream of tartar | 1/2 cup toasted almond slivers | |
| 1 | In a small nonreactive saucepan, bring the honey and wine slowly to a boil, stirring frequently. Simmer without stirring until the mixture becomes syrupy and reaches the soft ball stage or 248F (120C) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 7 minutes. |
| 2 | Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form. Continue beating while pouring the hot syrup, in a thin stream, into the egg whites. Beat until cool and shiny. Spoon the soft honey meringue into tall decorative glasses and garnish with the slivered almonds. |
