So I finally got around to making my own butterbeer, with a really witchy twist. I could never find a recipe that worked for me, as they all seemed to run off the idea that it tasted like butterscotch, which is never the vibe that I got. I always assumed it was rich, buttery and creamy, with a small alcoholic kick. I made it much more alcoholic.
For the spiced butter:
250g butter
250g brown sugar
1T cinnamon, ground (healing, protection, fire)
1t nutmeg, ground (clairvoyance, clarity, love)
1/2t ginger, ground (passion, immunity, healing)
1/4t clove, ground (luck, prosperity, protection)
Cream butter, sugar and spices.
Roll into a log and store wrapped in the fridge.
For the drink:
About 1cm of spiced butter log
About a shot of rum / bourbon / whiskey
A mug of milk
Whipped cream
Slowly heat the milk on the stove, stirring clockwise and infusing your intentions into the liquid. I focused on warmth, happiness and protection.
Do not boil the milk.
Pop the spiced butter and alcohol of choice in the mug. Top with the very hot milk. Stir clockwise to continue to infuse your intentions or counter clockwise to banish.
I basically had #butterbeer ice cream yesterday. Since it’s green, it counts as healthy right?! What green stuff have you been enjoying lately ?!☘️️❇️✳️❎✅♻️ (at Gabriel’s Fountain Restaurant)
6-8 tablespoons butterscotch sauce (depending how sweet you like it)
3 cups apple cider
1 cup bourbon whiskey (optional)
2 cups ginger beer
Whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions
Heat cider, bourbon and butterscotch syrup in a medium saucepan until the butterscotch dissolves and the mixture is steaming hot. Remove from heat and stir in the ginger beer. Ladle into mugs and serve with loads of whipped cream on top.
At Kings Cross Station they should sell pumkin juice and butterbeer - for all Muggels who never know about our Wizard-world. They have to taste the awesomeness :-D Maybe they should sell Sweets from Hogsmead, too..
