Cook for 1 servings
Our ratio, your call. The amounts below are a tested starting point — a version, not the one and only. Anything tagged to taste is the knob you turn: start there, then make it yours.
Egg yolks
Fresh, the fresher the better since they carry the drink. Pasteurized eggs if you'd rather not use raw.

Sugar
Whisked into the yolks until pale. This dissolves smooth off the raw whisk, no cooking needed.
