  17. Pour the sugar and water into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, and place a thermometer in the saucepan.

  20. When the syrup reaches 118 C (do not exceed 120 C), pour a thin stream over the whites, while whisking at full speed.
  21. Once the syrup is fully mixed with the egg whites, continue whisking until the meringue is cold.
  22. To assemble pie: pour lemon filling in the pie crust, even out with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  23. Using a pastry bag, form small piles of meringue on top of the pie.
