  4. Meanwhile pour the egg whites into a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment.

  6. Decrease the speed to medium and gradually stream in the sugar syrup mixture. Once all the sugar syrup is poured, beat on high until it triples in volume and produces a thick marshmallow like texture meringue.
