     ADVOKAAT - Egg-cognac: a potent sweet alcoholic beverage

     Advokaat is the Dutch word for "egg cognac".  It is highly
     recommended for A. I. (Alcohol Imbibing) meetings.  This
     recipe is my modification of a recipe I obtained in Poland.
     It makes a potent, superb advokaat (or egg-cognac). The milk
     and eggs are healthy, the sugar and alcohol are not.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-8)
     1 1/2 cups
               sugar
     2 Tbsp    vanilla sugar
     2 cups    milk
     9         egg yolks
     1 1/2 cups
               95% grain alcohol

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Mix sugars.

          (2)  Boil milk with half of sugars for two minutes. Let
               it cool down.  (For the milk it is easiest to use
               a pot which can later be used with a mixer.)

          (3)  Mix well (mixer at high speed) the yolks with the
               other half of the sugars.

          (4)  Using mixer add to milk. Then (still using mixer)
               add alcohol slowly.  (The result is quite fluid,
               sweet and strong.)

          (5)  Bottle and let rest for two weeks to let the mix-
               ture thicken.

NOTES
     This advokaat can be drunk or, better yet, eaten with a
     spoon: it is quite thick.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 5 minutes preparation, 2 weeks
     aging.  Precision: Measure the ingredients.
