Fall is practically here, so I thought I would post a good fall recipe, which is Butterbeer.  While I have not been to Potter World (Yet), I have on good authority this is the official Potter World recipe for Butterbeer.  


Ingredients:

•               2 tablespoons unsalted butter

•               1/4 cup packed brown sugar

•               1/4 cup heavy cream

•               1/4 teaspoon sea salt

•               1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

•               3 cups apple cider

•               1 cup ginger ale

•               whipped cream, for garnish

Directions:

Makes: Serves 6-8

1. Make the butterscotch syrup: melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, 1/4 cup cream, and sea salt. Whisk to combine. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

2. Stir in vanilla and cider and heat until very hot, and the butterscotch syrup has dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in ginger ale. Serve with loads of whipped cream on top.
