In a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, warm the sugar, corn syrup, and water; stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to boil. Keep cooking without stirring until it reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a hard ball.

In a 1 1/2-quart glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Keep beating while gradually pouring the hot syrup in a thin stream into the egg whites.
