Meringue

Made a lemon meringue pie this afternoon and while the flavour is nice, I seem to be lacking skills for a nice fluffy meringue.

I use 3 egg whites (at room temperature), 6 TBLS of sugar, 1/4 tsp of Cream of Tartar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla and just can't seem to get the meringue to stiffen.

Does anyone have any helpful hints on how to peak the meringue?
