Butterbeer

Harry Potter arrived in theaters Friday and while that has absolutely nothing to do with beer, I thought I should mention what I read on Slashfood. In the books and in the movies, there has been mention of butter beer. While butter beer isn't exactly brewed, someone probably has a theory on how it would be made if it were real, which is what Slashfood has posted. Ladies and gentlemen, Butter(scotch) beer:

Madame Rosmerta's Butterbeer
(recipe adapted from Mugglenet.com)
Ingredients:
1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
1/2 cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
1/2 tablespoon butter
Directions: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated. Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit. Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses.
