7. Place the pan on a low flame and heat, while whisking continuously until the mixture turns milky.
8. Once milky, stop whisking and increase the heat.
9. Allow the stock to heat to a boil.
10. Immediately reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, without stirring and letting the raft that forms on top be intact.
11. After simmering, carefully lift the pan and strain the liquid through a cheese cloth into a bowl or clean saucepan.
12. Discard the residue and allow liquid to cool.
13. Once cooled, refrigerate or chill liquid over ice until thick and jelly like.
