How to Make Dutch Advocaat

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until the mixture is pale yellow and thick.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup (240ml) of brandewijn (Dutch brandy) with your mixer on the lowest speed, ensuring it's fully incorporated into the egg mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Pour the advocaat mixture into the top of a double boiler. Ensure the bottom of the double boiler has simmering water. The water should *not* touch the top part containing your advocaat.
  4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is warm to the touch and slightly thickened. Do not let it boil or the eggs will scramble.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain the advocaat through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or bits of egg white if present.
  6. Once completely cooled, pour the advocaat into sterilized bottles or jars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
