I was on a road trip to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and Tiajuana. There was only one problem during the entire nine-day spring break trip: Utah. It was much more beautiful than any of of our four-person group had anticipated and it had been taken over by the Mormons. Which meant one thing only: no booze.
I have Harry Potter fever, and I bet a lot of you do, too. In honor of the final Harry Potter film (and the subsequent depression many of us will briefly sink into, as we did following the book), I’ve decided to whip up some HP treats. This weekend, if I can acquire the supplies need to do it, I’m makin’ butterbeer!
Throughout the series, I know I’ve drooled over the sweet, warm descriptions of butterbeer, a treat that our trio has enjoyed in Hogsmeade quite often, and I know plenty of other fans have, too. In fact, my sister and I often lament that we can’t have any butterbeer (among other things, such as flying broomsticks or pygmy puffs—and especially that we can’t Apparate!), but it turns out that Universal Studios has given up their butterbeer recipe and we can all make it! You can find it here.
I’m not one for cream soda, so I don’t know if I’m really going to like it or not… I wonder if root beer or something could work as a substitute? If you try out the recipe, be sure to let me know; there is also an alcoholic version at the website you can use.
