The latest Harry Potter movie 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' releases today! Unfortunately I wasn't able to get tickets for opening night as I was caught up with work and realised too late so I have tickets for Sunday night instead. I'm super excited!Since I'm an avid fan I figured I would try out a recipe that is Harry Potterish! In the book the one thing that always intrigued me was the butterbeer...it is described as being warm and soothing on a cold day with that bubbleish tickle. Sounds like a warm soda with a butterish richness.
So with no idea on where to begin I searched on google and found this recipe.
Butterbeer
1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
½ tablespoon butter
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. Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit. Serve and enjoy a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!
I haven't had a chance to make it yet as I don't have butterscotch syrup at home...but I'll try it out over the weekend. Just wanted to share it with anyone out there who is as big of a potterhead as me!
Now let me ask you...do you have a movie/book obsession?

WOW!!! Ive always wanted to know what kinda flavours to expect from Butterbeer and suspected that it was a sorta buttery, creamy, fizzy drink and seems like it is!! mmMmm!!! Thanks babe!
Reckon you could replace the soda with beer? hmmmm...
YAY Thankyou so much for this recipe! :D It sounds delicious and helps get me in the mood for Harry Potter :)
wow ow ow!!! My friend is a total HP fan! She even dressed up as Harry Potter and goes to Harry Potter conventions! She'll flip over this recipe!
I like the idea of making food from books. Think of the Magic Faraway Tree with the pop biscuits and toffee shocks. They sounded so good!
btw i JUST watched HP 6!! WHEEE!
Nadine - Me too! which is why I looked it up :) Why not try it out with beer...hehe you never know!
Lorraine - Hee hee...a potterhead too are you?
BurpandSlurp - Ohh cool! Let her try it out...or better yet make it for her! hee hee..
Arwen - Oh yes I LOVED the magic faraway tree...their treats always sounded so fun!
Great minds think alike! Let me know how it goes! I've also been looking for a butterbeer recipe, but have been leaning towards a butterscotch milk recipe....
