What's the propour way to freeze human meat for later consumption; I'm just asking for a friend?
I do not use sugar in any form, would salt work?
Would salt also act as an effective cryoprotectant? If so would it be the same ratio?
l gave this a try, the yolks were clumpy and sweet. Next recipe!

When you say "syrup" do you just mean sugar and water? Or do you cook it first?
Do you use the 3/4 t simple syrup to any amout of egg yolks (u used 4 )….Example I freeze mine with 3 yolks. Do I still use 3/4 t syrup?
The amount of the syrup is so minimal I doubt you it would affect the recipe.
with the extra sugar do i have to compensate for it in the recipe?
