To make half of the frosting recipe, you'll need to reduce each ingredient by half. Here's how you can adjust the measurements for each ingredient:

1. Granulated Sugar: The original recipe calls for 3 cups of granulated sugar. To make half of the recipe, you'll need 1.5 cups of granulated sugar.

2. Cream of Tartar: The recipe requires 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. Halving it means you'll need to use 1/8 teaspoon.

3. Water: The original recipe uses 1 1/2 cups of water. To make half of the recipe, you should use 3/4 cup of water.

4. Powdered Sugar: The recipe calls for 1 cup of powdered sugar. Halving it means you'll need 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.

5. Vanilla Extract: The recipe includes 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Since you're making half, use 1/4 teaspoon.

6. Almond Extract: The original recipe consists of 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. To make half of the recipe, use 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract.

By adjusting these measurements, you can successfully make half of the frosting recipe.
