Water bath
Take a medium or large saucepan and add enough water, so the glass bowl will not be touch the water. Bring the water to boil, then reduce to simmer. Place the glass bowl with the whisked liquid on top of the simmering water.
Reheat and whisk the liquid continuously above the simmering water. Best is a use of hand electric mixer now, at low speed. When the liquid is warm (steam starts to come out of the bowl), add the previously whisked egg yolks and continue mixing with a hand electric mixer (or whisk vigorously if using a hand whisk) until the mixture starts to be foamy and thickens. Or until the kitchen thermometer temperature shows 160 F / 72 C. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
