Holiday Mints

• White of 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon cold water
• 1 pound icing sugar /confectionery sugar
• 3 to 4 drops of peppermint flavoring.
• 2 different food colors

Instructions:
Beat egg white and water (not to stiff). Gradually add up to 1 pound icing sugar /confectionery sugar. Before adding all the sugar put in 3 to 4 drops of peppermint flavoring. Divide mixture into 3 parts.
Add food coloring to only 2 of the mixtures you will end up with 3 colors (like red, green, and white Christmas colors). Take one of the colored mixtures and roll in between your hands until about 1/2 " thick (a snake like appearance). Then take your scissors and cut off 1/2-inch pieces and let harden repeat with remaining colors. These are so easy to make and fun for kids. They make great gifts and taste good too.
