-Put the hot water and sugar mixture into a mixing bowl and mix for a couple minutes to make sure the sugar is incorporated into the water.
-Then add the powdered meringue and slowly mix until wet.
-Beat mixture to stiff peaks (about 3 minutes, but it can vary) and then set aside.

Personal Notes:
This is a recipe Meme came up with herself and is known for it. Meme used to do cakes for every occasion for her family and friends and sometimes just when someone needed a pick me up. I remember learning how to decorate cakes with Meme and how to make this recipe. Whenever I make this frosting, I always think of her.
