Harry Potter Fans, Here's How You Can Make Your Own Butterbeer

While you are spending time away from Hogwarts, here's the ultimate recipe hack using only a few pantry staples for your favorite drink: butterbeer! 

Sweet butterscotch, fluffy whipped cream, smooth ice cream, and fizzy soda water make up this comforting and satisfying sipper. Remember to season your butterscotch with a pinch of salt so that it doesn't become overly sweet! 

Butterbeer Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

To make the butterscotch:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup whipping cream

Pinch of salt

1 cup heavy cream, whipped

4 (330-ml) cans soda water

1 pint or 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions: 

1  Melt the butter over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. 

2  Add the whipping cream and salt, then cook over medium heat for 7 minutes. 

3  In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until you reach soft peaks and fold in 2 tablespoons of cooled butterscotch. 

4  In a tall mug, layer the ingredients. Drizzle butterscotch in the bottom first. Then, layer the whipped cream, soda water, and a scoop of ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream and a drizzle of butterscotch.
