Harry Potter's Butter Beer Recipe

HARRY POTTER BUTTER BEER

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup Light or dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ½ teaspoon Cider vinegar
• ¾ cup Heavy cream
• Divided ½ teaspoon Rum extract
• Four 12-ounce bottles Cream soda

INSTRUCTIONS

The Butter Beer Formula:

Combine the brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 degrees on a candy thermometer.
WARNING: Immediately remove from the heat when it reaches 240 degrees to prevent
a burnt flavor.
Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar, and ¼ cup heavy cream (save the other ½ cup for later). Set aside to cool to room temperature.
When the mixture is cool, stir in the rum extract.

The Foamy Head Formula:

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.

The Magical Integration:

To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about ¼ cup for each glass). Add ¼ cup of cream soda to each glass; then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each glass.
Now, close your eyes; imagine yourself in the magical world of Harry Potter and taste the sweet savory flavor of the Harry Potter Butter Beer recipe’.
