Here’s How To Make Your Own Harry Potter-inspired Butterbeer

Here’s how to make your own Harry Potter-inspired butterbeer

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

6 tablespoons butter

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon cider vinegar

¾ cup heavy cream, divided (this will be clear later)

½ teaspoon rum extract

4 (12 ounce) bottles cream soda

First, combine the brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil, stirring often.

Then, stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and ¼ cup of heavy cream, and take the whole thing off the heat and let it cool. Once it’s cooled enough, add the rum extract.

Put the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream in a medium mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons from your cooled brown sugar mixture. Use an electric mixer to mix until just before it becomes whipped cream.

To serve your butterbeer, divide the brown sugar mixture into 4 glasses (about ¼ cup each) then add ¼ cup of cold cream soda to each glass and stir. Top off the glasses with any remaining soda, and then add your whipped cream on the top.

Now drink and enjoy! Or if you’re feeling really ambitious you could make a real-life Weasley family clock like this guy.
