- 1 pinch Salt (enhances flavor)

Whisk the mixture
Transfer the hot syrup‑gelatin mixture to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer on low speed, slowly drizzle the hot liquid into the bowl while whisking. Once all liquid is added, increase speed to medium‑high and beat for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and fluffy.
