 1 lb bitter chocolate
 2 c water
 6 egg whites
 1 t cream of tartar
 2 T instant coffee
 Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until they form soft peaks;
 then beat in the coffee.  Melt the chocolate, and keep warm. Combine
 the sugar and water, and cook to the hard crack stage.  With the
 mixer running on high, pour the sugar over the egg whites, and beat
 until shiny.  Rapidly beat in the hot chocolate.  Frost the cake
 immediately, as this frosting sets in just a few minutes.
