This is what I use
25g of gum arabic
1/2 teaspoon of honey
1/4 teaspoon of rock candy
about 100cc of water
albumen from one egg white.
- Crush the rock candy
- Warm the water but do not boil
- Slowly add the gum arabic, stirring constantly until dissolved
- Add honey and rock candy
- Strain the mixture through a fine cloth (handkerchief or sheeting) and let cool
While the mixture is cooling
- whip an egg white into a meringue and turn the bowl on edge.
- Allow the mixture to settle out and remove the liquid that separates. (this is the albumin)
- Add the albumin to the cooled mixture and stir well
