Preparation

1. Put the yolks, water and lemon juice into the top of a double boiler, placing it over simmering water. Or you may improvise and put the mixture into a heat-proof mixing bowl, placing the bowl in a basin of barely simmering water.
2. Start beating the mixture with a whisk until it is light colored and fluffy. Gradually add the butter, beating rapidly with the whisk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Beat in the orange juice and orange rind and remove from the heat.
