    Smile Recipe using honey

    Honey-Advocaat:

    If your hens are like mine and lay more eggs than you can eat just now, why not try to make some Honey-Advocaat:

    ingredients:

    10 egg-yolks (from very fresh eggs)
    300 g honey
    some vanilla flavour
    400g cream
    500ml brandy (or similar strength alcohol)

    Heat honey and egg-yolks indirectly in a bowl immersed in hot water while whisking constantly for 5 minutes (but don't boil!).
    Add vanilla, cream and brandy and keep whisking for another 5 minutes.
    Leave to cool.
    Stirr again, then bottle.

    According to my rough calculations you should end up with a drink of around 12 to 15 % alcohol (Vol).

    The Advocaat should get better and better as it matures, if you can leave it alone, of course.

    OK a german bear bait recipe:
    1 liter good vodka (moskovskaya is good smirnoff is not)
    350g runny honey (maybe slightly warmed)
    8 cloves
    1 Vanilla stick
    Mix the honey into the vodka well, slice open the vanilla stick, put the lot into a dark bottle and leave it at room temperature for a week.
    Alternative to cloves and vanilla are a cinnimon stick and some lemon zest
