Real Harry Potter Butterbeer!

Ever wondered how to make butterbeer when reading harry potter? Well you're not alone. Butterbeer has become a hugely popular drink, especially at the harry potter theme parks and there are many butterbeer recipes online that are all variations of this theme park recipe. However, the problem we have with this recipe is that there is no beer in it! It's actually a very uninteresting drink which doesn't taste or feel the way it's described in the harry potter books. But we did find an original recipe of authentic butterbeer as it was used to be made hundreds of years ago. Our recipe is really a form of mulled ale, which is an old tradition in many parts of Europe. Not only did people put the typical christmas spices in their mulled ale, like ginger, cinnamon and clove, but they also used to add eggs, cream, and butter, which of course gives its name to butterbeer. And that is what we did and it makes the mulled ale incredibly creamy and heartwarming, perfect for halloween and christams and the cold and darker days of autumn and winter. And of course for watching Harry Potter movies :)
We hope you enjoy our video!
