1500's Butterbeer recipe | Harry Potter | Food in Literature

[@iasimov4195]

Once the temperature of the mixture exceeds 170F the alcohol will be stampeding to the exit. By the time it comes to a boil, hardly any alcohol will be left. Best to use a near beer and add a shot of vodka or whiskey at the end. Also, I'd use a Mexican beer (like Dos XX) instead of an English ale. The Brits tend to go heavy on the hops and it's the hops that make beer objectionable to people with an undisciplined palate. Mexi-beer, from my experience, is pretty light on the hops which is why I don't drink it.

hi from germany: i love love love that you researched the recipe, that you use real english beer and that you dont go for this ugly, commercial cream soda version. thank you for being a real magician, you made my day !

[@taytaytaylorj]

Can't wait for it to get cooler in Texas so I can try this :)))

[@HowDo-YouDo]

I made a non-alcoholic version, and someone asked me how to make it WITH alcohol. Is it ok if I share this video with them?

[@AdrianaBarron1]

I love your channel! thanks for the video. :)

[@BrytonTaylor]

[@TheSteampunkBrit]

Would you be up to making some edible (drinkable) potions from Harry Potter? I've always wondering if it would be possible to make a Liquid Luck drink and Halloween is coming up fast! Loving your videos, keep being inspiring.

[@BrytonTaylor]

Definitely on my list! Not sure if I can get to them for this Halloween, but I'll try :)

[@elisabetfinlayson8539]

This is really helpful. Thanks.

[@BrytonTaylor]

Glad it helped :)

[@captainbeaver_man903]

Sam smiths nut brown ale works well too.

[@luci0851]

Just made it this evening to go with the brilliant version of pride and prejudice (one with Colin firth;) and it was WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for the recipe!

[@BrytonTaylor]

Have to agree, that really is the best version of Pride & Prejudice! :D

[@dereky1861]

Having a kids bday party soon. I just made it with a&w cream soda and it tastes wonderful.

Since I'm only 15, what could I substitute the beer for, without messing up the consistency?

[@alexpage10]

About 40 minutes of simmering of the beer will burn the alcohol.

[@JasonX00]

Cream Soda?

[@berdeberd6741]

hi I'm from a tropical country and I would really love to try butter beer. what would be the best alternative for the spice you've mentioned...

[@BrytonTaylor]

You could probably try cinnamon in place of pumpkin pie spice?

[@srcunliffe]

Hey Bryton! Can you recommend a vegan substitute for the eggs? Thanks!

[@BrytonTaylor]

Hey, I think any vegan egg substitute would work. Especially those powder substitutes that have powdered tapioca in? If you give it a shot, let me know how it goes for you! Alternatively, I'm sure it's fine without the egg if need be. It helps thicken the liquid slightly and probably helps with the foam on top, but doesn't impact the taste.

[@greenbean2904]

blood is a good substitute for eggs, use your own blood :p

[@orkideasomppi6155]

Hey Bryton! Can you make a Harry Potter butterbeer without egg? I cant eat eggs :I xoxo

[@BrytonTaylor]

You can just leave out the eggs :) It changes the thickness of the drink, but not the taste.

[@111Panda]

Did they have a kitchen Aid in the 1500s?

[@beaucode1010]

mmm delicious

[@comesahorseman]

Re: the hand blender....check the refrigerator. Don't ask, just do it....:)

[@SerenaHSerena77Elvis2]

Most people in the US use rootbeer and NO egg

[@BrytonTaylor]

That's one way of making the Wizarding World version. This recipe is for the 1500s version.

[@michaelbeary]

I didn't think the orig. video was cringy at all.
