Non-Alcoholic Butterbeer from Harry Potter

Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Get your ingredients ready. I made one serving of the drink — that is, I used a quarter of the ingredients — but I made a full batch of the caramel syrup.
-
Step 2:
First you need to make the caramel syrup. Pour the water into a small saucepan and add the sugar.
-
Step 3:
Set it over the heat, bring it to a boil, and stir until the sugar fully dissolves.
-
Step 4:
Pour the cream into the syrup in a thin stream.
-
Step 5:
And add the spices and salt.
-
Step 6:
Cook, stirring now and then, until the syrup reduces, about three to five minutes. Leave the syrup to cool at room temperature.
-
Step 7:
Pour the milk into a blender, add the ice cream, and pour in the cooled caramel syrup.
-
Step 8:
Blend until it forms a nice foamy head. Pour into mugs. You can sprinkle cinnamon on top.
- To be totally precise, not a single book about the wizards of Hogwarts gives a recipe for butterbeer. It simply exists, and everyone is wild about it. The Three Broomsticks pub serves it hot, and you can also buy it bottled. For the older crowd, butterbeer shows up at every party and even goes to your head a little. The most common version is a cocktail-style drink of milk and lots of ice cream with a spiced caramel syrup. You can make the syrup yourself, using the recipe above, or use a ready-made one — that will give the drink a darker color, more like real beer. If you go with a ready-made syrup, just add the spices to the blender. Don't let the spices put you off: the pepper isn't noticeable at all in the finished drink — it just adds a slight savory note, as does the salt, which helps bring out all the flavors. And cinnamon is a perfect match for caramel. If you're a grown-up Harry Potter fan, you're allowed to try the alcoholic version: just add rum to the drink in a 1:4 ratio. There are also recipes that use soda instead of milk.
