We are big Harry Potter fans around here. We read all the books last year (well, I read them to the kids) and they got the DVD set for Christmas. Scott decided that he would finally watch all the movies, so we've been having a HP marathon. We're currently on #5 "The Order of the Phoenix." Even Sienna walks around using sticks as magic wands and trying to curse people. (She's been unsuccessful thus far, thank goodness!)
Another of our "Summer Fun List" items was to watch Harry Potter & have Butter Beer. Wikipedia says:
Butterbeer is a popular wizarding beverage described as tasting "a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch."[1] Interestingly enough, I don't think they've mentioned Butter Beer yet in the movies, (Scott hasn't read the books) and he didn't have a clue what I was talking about.
When I found a recipe for Butter Beer I realized that it's typically served warm. Well, the temp outside was a lovely 99 degrees, so we altered the recipe a bit to be more milkshake like.
They were yummy. We mixed vanilla ice cream and cream soda, blended to be a creamy shake, added some butterscotch syrup to the mix, and topped with whip cream and more butterscotch syrup drizzled on top. Everyone loved them! Give it a try:)
