Decorated Peppermints
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 Tbsp cold water
- 2 drops oil of peppermint
- Confectioners' sugar
Put egg white, cold water and peppermint in a bowl. Beat until very light. Add sugar a tablespoon at a time, beating between each addition, until mixture is stiff enough to hold its shape. Reserve 1/3 of the mixture and slowly add sugar to the remainder until it is stiff enough to knead. Work it with your hands until it's smooth. Put on a board. Roll out 1/8 inch thick. Cut with a small round cutter. Decorate with the remaining mixture, colored pink, blue, lavender, yellow, or green, forced through paper tubes, making tiny roses, forget-me-nots, violets, or sweet peas, with stems and leaves on each mint.
