Method:
Heat the Stage 1 (fat stage) ingredients in a double boiler until melted.
Heat the Stage 2 ingredients to above 75 °C.
Add the Stage 1 (fat stage) to the Stage 2 (water stage) and stir thoroughly to combine the ingredients, then stick blend for about 20 seconds until emulsified. It is important to stir the stages together before using the stick blender. Check the hood of the blender and if you see small particles there, stick blend again for another 15 seconds. Check again, and it should look like a smooth, thin cream. This shows that emulsification has happened.
Allow to cool naturally whilst stirring with a spoon or spatula continuously. Do not use the stick blender.
When the cream is below 40 °C, combine the Stage 3 (heat sensitive) ingredients and then add to the cream. Stir thoroughly, then jar and label.
