Butterbeer

Since my parents are away in Mauritius for my Mum's 50th Birthday I have been running my two younger siblings around all week. So to celebrate Friday night we decided to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. To go with this we decided to make some butterbeer because what else could go better with Harry Potter than Harry Potter themed snacks. I know there are a lot of recipes floating around the internet for Butterbeer but I thought I'd add ours because it's pretty yummy.

Owl Post mug optional

Butterbeer, Serves 1

• 1 cup milk (or however much your mug will hold)
• 1 tablespoon powdered milk (to make it frothy)
• 6 butterscotch lollies such as Werther's Originals, crushed
• 1 teaspoon sugar (if you are a super sweet tooth like me)
• 1 dash vanilla essence

Combine milk and powdered milk together in a saucepan. Heat the mixture until it is warm. Add crushed lollies, sugar and vanilla. Stir until melted together. Serve in your favourite mug and settle down with either a Harry Potter book or movie.

I find this recipe takes about 10 minutes to do as you don't want to cook the milk too quickly and burn it. Good luck with it and let me know how it turned out and/or how you make your own version of butter beer.
