Butterbeer has become a symbol of magic, an enchanted recipe that instantly blends the wizarding world into our own. Which is why an authentic recipe for 1500’s butter beer is a must for your next Harry Potter party.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of British Ale
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 2.5 tbsp of unsalted butter
Instructions
- Start by pouring the ale into a saucepan. To keep it from 'exciting' (foaming up), angle the saucepan and gently pour the ale down the side into the pan.
- Stir in the 1 tsp of spices.
- Gently heat until it comes to a boil, then lower the heat straight away and let simmer for a few minutes.
- In these few minutes, whisk together the yolks and sugar.
- Remove from the heat, let sit for a few minutes to bring the heat down, then add in the yolks and sugar to the ale.
- Whisk until the sugar has dissolved and let simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the butter until fully mixed in.
- With a hand blender, froth the ale until foam forms. Let sit to cool.
- Using a spoon, hold back the froth as you pour the butterbeer into the beer stein. Leave about an inch of room on the top, spoon on the froth and serve.
