Recipe
1
Preheat your oven to 150°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a clean, dry glass bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
3
Gradually add the powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time, continuing to whip until stiff, glossy peaks form.
4
Gently fold in the finely chopped cashews and vanilla extract using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the meringue.
5
Drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
6
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the macaroons are pale, crisp on the outside, and easily release from the parchment paper.
7
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
8
Prepare the filter coffee by combining the brewed decoction with hot milk and sugar, beating it until frothy.
9
Serve the crisp Tuticorin macaroons alongside the warm, aromatic filter coffee.
