Description:

There is nothing like a frothy brew to end a grueling day of wizardry.  This Butterbeer t-shirt features the beverage of choice among Harry Potter and his best Hogwarts’ friends.   It can be found at Hog’s Head, the Leaky Cauldron or Three Broomsticks, among other places, and is said to taste very similar to butterscotch and cream soda.   Whether you have been able to get your hands on the real deal or not, now Muggles can have a taste of the goodness with this Butterbeer shirt.  The sweet golden drink and thick creamy head will cast a spell on you before you can raise your wand.

We had the pleasure of visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in the fall of 2010, a few months after the park opened to the public.  The Butterbeer tasted so good that we tracked down several recipes and attempted to make it at home.  The following Butterbeer recipe is the closest to the real thing that we could find.

Homemade Butterbeer

Makes 6 servings

(Note: The drink and the foam are made separately.  Ingredients for both appear in bold below.)

To make the drink:  Set out six 16-ounce glasses on the table.  Add half a teaspoon of butter extract (imitation butter) to each glass, then pour 12 ounces of cream soda into each glass (this means you will need six 12-ounce bottles of cream soda). Lightly stir, if needed.

To make the foam:  In a large mixing bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream on medium high speed for 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken.  Add 6 tablespoons of sugar and continue whipping until very soft peaks start forming.  This should amount to another 3-4 minutes of whipping, however, the time can vary based on the environment.  Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 ½ teaspoons of butter extract, then whip for an additional 30 seconds or more, until soft peaks are visible.

Spoon a hefty portion of the foam onto the top of each glass.  Put on your Butterbeer Harry Potter t-shirt and serve immediately.
