Leonardo Romanelli's Illustrated Tiramisu

Begin by making coffee to soak the savoiardi in. You'll need about a cup, and you can use either espresso, diluted with water, or black drip coffee (undiluted).

While the coffee's brewing set a pot with an inch of water in it to boil.

Next, separate the eggs. You'll only need the yolks here, and you should put them in a pot that will fit into the pot of water on the stove.
