For best results, use a candy thermometer to ensure accurate temperature readings. Room temperature egg whites will whip to a greater volume. Be careful when pouring the hot syrup, as it can cause burns. If the Divinity doesn't set properly, it may be due to undercooking the syrup. You can try re-beating it or using it as a frosting.
