    • 🍚 1 cup white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
    • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

    • 🍋 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Spread the meringue mixture over the prepared crust, and bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown and firm, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the crust cool.
