Homemade Butter-Beer from Harry Potter
Recently, I have gotten very into soda making through the process of making syrups and adding them to fizzy water. At first however, my soda making skills began with the making of delicious homemade caramel; a delicious 4 ingredient homely sauce which can be added to almost anything sweet and a lot of things salty. The main part of making caramel is boiling sugar. Through the internet, I found out about syrup making as it is essentially caramel making with a flavor of fruit or other things without the addition of butter and heavy cream. In my times of soda making I was able to accomplish a cream soda entirely from scratch, which according to family members was the same as the one’s made by A&W. I made it by making a vanilla and lemon syrup and adding vanilla ice cream and heavy cream. After this, I recreated a Yuzu soda with an orange, lemon, lime, and Margot’s mix based soda. This Yuzu soda is served at one of my favorite ramen restaurants and is to die for. Recently before this recipe, I went to a candy store which has a butterbeer soda which I very much loved. My adding of vanilla ice cream to the soda added a much needed foam and it was something I have been attempting to recreate since. Through this I searched to recreate Butter-Beer in many attempts. For the butterscotch flavored soda, I knew it would be necessary for a butterscotch syrup to be made as a flavor base. Butterscotch syrup is made by boiling brown sugar on medium-high heat until it fizzles, except unlike the making of butterscotch I do not add any butt or heavy cream after the fact. I also would need fizzy water as that is what makes a soda. (I usually have a 2-1 ratio of fizzy water to syrup) I also have ice which I decided to make a more interesting slushie version of the recipe (also friends have told me that is what is served at Universal Studios). I also add vanilla extract and ice cream to every soda I am able to as they each add complexity and a nice balance with the strong syrup. I used a blender to make the slushy as one would, and it was very good, so here’s the recipe.
