Orange meringues with vanilla are an exquisite dessert of European cuisine, combining the airy lightness of meringue with refreshing citrus tartness. The origins of this treat trace back to French pastry traditions, where the art of making meringue reached perfection. The warmth of vanilla adds depth to the sweetness, while orange juice provides a subtle fruity note that makes the flavor even more refined. These crispy clouds perfectly complement tea time and pair wonderfully with berry sauces or ice cream. Their preparation is a meditative process requiring patience, but the result is always magical: meringues melt in your mouth, leaving a delicate aftertaste. A wonderful option for a festive dessert or a cozy evening with a cup of fragrant tea.
