Homemade Advocaat I

Boy, is advocaat delicious! (I usually get a bottle of it from the Dutch-America store and skip the above...:) this delicious Dutch drink is actually eaten with a spoon! one more from from Holland with love ... the Dutch national drink!!
== Ingredients ==
* 10 eggs
* ½ level teaspoon salt
* 275 grams sugar
* 4 dl cognac
* 1½ level teaspoons vanilla essence (extract, i think)
== Directions ==
# Separate the eggs and beat the yolks with the salt and the sugar, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
# Beat in the cognac, very slowly and put the mixture into a double saucepan.
# Heat gently, whisking all the time until the advocaat is warm (not hot) and thick.
# Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla essence.
# Pour into a jug.
# advocaat is served in a glass and eaten with a teaspoon.
# It can also be topped with whipped cream.
# Also, might i add, that advocaat is nothing like the eggnog here in America.
# It is thick and creamy — not foamy at all.
