For a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. Adjust the amount of dry mustard to your preference. Start with 1 tablespoon for a mild flavor and increase to 1 1/2 tablespoons for a more pronounced mustard kick. If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Gently reheat before serving.
