Direct from The Three Broomsticks, a recipe for Butterbeer you can make at home:
Ingredients:
12 fluid ounces of root beer OR cream soda (for American readers, 1 can)
1 tablespoon of honey
2 teaspoons of butter
Directions:
Step 1: Place root beer (or cream soda) into a microwave safe glass and heat in microwave for about 30 seconds.
Step 2: Remove root beer (or cream soda) and sit aside while you place butter into microwave long enough to melt it.
Step 3: Now, add your warm root beer (or cream soda), melted butter and honey to the blender and blend for 5-10 seconds. (We recommend 5 as going past this may remove all the fizziness from your root beer (or cream soda) and it just won't taste the same!)
Step 4: Enjoy!

Mmm... Butterbeer...
It sounds great in the books but the recipe makes it seem like it's bad for my health. Yikes!

I think it sounds very good but i microwaved it longer so it was kinda like hot chocolate but all fizzy o.o Yes, it is good... Dont use too much butter!! and dont use margarine.. like the stick kind, it adds a very..er.. 'interesting' after taste... sorta like metal..
Posted by Lorin | July 29, 2003 9:29 AM
Posted on July 29, 2003 09:29
Like Lorin said, go easy on the butter, and don't ever substitute margarine. Oh, and use the unsalted kind.

Excellent! It actually takes very good. I put the root beer on 10 seconds longer to make it a bit warmer, but it's still perfect.

I don't think it's supposed to taste like butter does it? All it said in the book was that it really warms you up.

Here is a good recipe:
1 can of rootbeer
1/3 cup of butterscotch

1/2 cup of milk
and 1 tsp. of cinnamon
mix together and bring to a light boil

I think Butterbeer should definately be warm...and perhaps less alcoholic...and i'm thinkin of addin Melted Fudge to that recipie, thats the idea i had of it when i first read it in the book! If anyone has any ideas, plz let me know :)
Posted by Ali | February 3, 2004 4:49 AM
Posted on February 3, 2004 04:49
I always wondered what it would taste like so I think I'll give it a try. I saw another butterbeer recipe and I might try it after I try this one. They made it sound really good in the book. I'll tell you what I thought after I make it. I hope its good. I decided to use cream soda. I love cream soda so I bet it is good.

Nobody should prepare this recipe in a microwave, it works just as good in a glass or stainless steel pot, without the radiation. By the way, what are buttershots and can I get them at any liquor store? Mmmm.......... sounds good

The best butterbeer I've ever made went something like this:
Rootbeer
Butterscotch syrup (Hershey's)
Butterscotch schnapps (to warm you up!)
Whipped cream (stir it in)
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
A bit of Vanilla Ice Cream stirred in
Not warm, but really tasty!

In the book winky got drunk on it, so it is alchoholic, but it also warms you up, and just a tiny bit of alchohol isn't enough to do that, so i would say use the alchoholic recipe(provided you are 21 or older), and heat it up a bit.
