Make your own butterbeer
September 18, 2006 by Wendy Boswell
I don’t know about you, but the words "butter" and "beer" kind of gross me out. Yet, there we have it many times in the Harry Potter books – Harry, Ron, and Hermione sneaking to Hogsmeade where one of the main attractions seems to be scoring some butterbeer. Here’s how you can make it yourself:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
- ½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
- ½ tablespoon butter
Directions:
Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.
Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.
Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!

I hear in the Harry Potter World, it’s cold, but it gives you a warm felling inside. It’s a winter drink. Refreshing.
