Ingredients for 4 people:

Preparation

  1. Separate the whites and yolks into their own bowls. Beat the whites, then the yolks.
  2. Add the honey to the egg yolks whisk until the mixture becomes light colored and foamy.
  3. To the yolk-sugar mixture, add water (or ginger tea), then add the lemon juice and zest.
