Boil the sugar and water until the
sugar dissolves. Add the screw pine leaves. Stir in the egg yolks and pour into a
mould. Slowly shake the mould so that the
yolks sink in the sugar syrup. The yolks will now appear like
strands. Using a thin stick or skewer, join
these strands so that they will form a net. Sieve and cool.
