  3. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the sugar and mix immediately.
  4. Place the bowl into a hot water bath, continuously mix with a whisk, and heat until the egg mixture becomes warm (about 40°C or 104 Fahrenheit). (I do this right on the flame, but feel free to use a hot water bath if you are worried about it.)
