The History of Advocaat
What is Advocaat?
Advocaat is a traditional Dutch liqueur that has been around since the 17th century. It is made from a combination of egg yolks, sugar, and brandy, giving it a rich and creamy texture. In the Netherlands, advocaat is often served as a dessert drink or used as a topping for ice cream. However, it has gained popularity in other parts of Europe, including the UK, as a festive drink for Christmas.
The Story Behind Kirstie's Recipe
Kirstie's love for advocaat stems from her childhood memories of her grandmother's homemade version. She recalls the creamy and velvety texture, with a hint of brandy and spices, that made it the perfect drink for Christmas. As she grew older, she realized that store-bought advocaat just didn't compare to her grandmother's homemade version. So, she decided to recreate the recipe and share it with her fans.
