Got Butterbeer?

Butterbeer, the drink of choice for young Hogwarts witches and wizards (and helping house elves dance since 1485!) An amber flagon of deliciousness that is equal parts candy-coated butterscotch bubbles and shortbread biscuit, topped with velvet creamy foam and just a hint of magic.  Served chilled or frozen. YUM. Who wouldn't want to drink this all the time? Not us!

There’s no such thing as too much butterbeer! *clink*

But how do those in the Muggle world partake of the mouthwatering beverage without making the journey to the wizarding realm? (We hear Apparating is an unpleasant business. Feeling like you're being forced through a tight rubber tube? Eh, no thanks.) Can this delightful drink be concocted here at home? It is our mission to find out!

And not just butterbeer - Pumpkin juice! Treacle tart! Hagrid's rock cakes! Madam Rosmerta's mead! Seriously, we get hungry every time we read HP 1-7. And so, from Sorcerer's Stone to Deathly Hallows, we are going to try (operative word: try) and recreate these wonderful wizarding recipes in the Muggle world!

So come one, come all - join us on our epic journey through the culinary masterpieces of Harry Potter's Wizarding World! In the wise words of Professor Dumbledore, "Let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure!"

I think I have accidentally made Hagrid's rock cakes a time or two.

Very much looking forward to the butterbeer recipe!
