degrees F - While the syrup is heating up, whip egg yolks on high speed in an electric mixer fitted
with a whisk to pale yellow and increased in volume. At this point, slowly pour in syrup
down the side of the bowl - Whisk the yolks and syrup until tepid to the touch, very light, and tripled in volume
