Steps:

1. In a small sauce pan add the water, sugar, cream of tarter and salt.

3. Remove from the stove and sit the pan next to your mixing bowl and mixer.

 
4. In a mixing bowl add your egg white.

 
5. Start beating your egg white on medium speed until you see the foam start to rise. I normally beat my egg white for 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Slowly add 1/4 of the liquid to the mixing bowl. Continue mixing the egg white with the liquid until it is well blended.
7. Add another 1/4 of the liquid to the mixing bowl and continue mixing until the liquid is well blended with the egg white.

8. Continue to slowly add the rest of the liquid to your egg white.
9. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is stiff and forms peaks. The frosting will have a glossy look when it's done. Add your vanilla and mix well.
10. Time to frost your cake.
