ever read the books and think "i would really like to try butter beer or that pumpkin juice." okay well maybe its just me but here we go anyway. http://uk.geocities.com/pottermovie/butter.htm

Butterbeer Ingredients:

Root Beer or cream soda
Butter
Cream
Butterscotch (chips, sauce or both!)


How to make it:
Pour the (root beer/cream soda) in a cup, and the butter & butterscotch into a a small bowl. Put the bowl of butter and butterscotch in the microwave and melt it.
Then put the root beer in the microwave, but not for long because you want it to be moderately warm, or it isn't fizzy and good anymore!
Pour some melted butter and butterscotch in the root beer but not too much! Then pour some cream (coffee cream) in. Then stir it all up. It might take a few tries to make it to your liking!

For Chilled Butterbeer (Very tasty!)


8oz ginger ale or cream soda (seems to work better!)
2-3 tablespoons of butterscotch syrup

Mix in a tall glass and serve over ice.


For Hot, Frothy Butterbeer
(These do not include Cream Soda or Root Beer)

Version 1:


2 1/2 cups of milk
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 level teaspoon of butter

OR


Version 2:


2 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of butterscotch chips

1. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients. Blend with a small
handmixer if you have one, to make it frothy.
3. Bring the mixture almost to boiling, but not quite.
4. Pour into mugs and serve!

Serve in a traditional English Metal Tankard:

Tankards were a very common form of drinking vessel in England during the 1600s and 1700s. They were made with and without a hinged cover. Smaller versions, which were usually open, were often called mug(g)s. By the mid-1700s, the baluster form, named for its resemblance to the turned supports in a railing, had become popular though the more traditional cylindrical form was still being made.

pumpkin juice
i haven't tried this yet, so if you do let me know how it is.
http://www.britta.com/hogwarts/recipes.html#pumpkinjuice

Quote:
This takes a good hour or two, depending on the size of your jack o'lantern, so keep checking your pumpkin as it is baking. Use a cookie sheet underneath so you can easily take the hot mushy pumpkin out of the oven and to catch any drippings. If your pumpkin was not carved, cut it in half before baking, otherwise it could explode and make a GIGANTIC mess! You will see that the juice separates from the pumpkin flesh as it starts to bake, so spoon off this juice periodically and save it so it doesn't leak all over your oven. Once your pumpkin flesh has baked long enough to be good and soft, remove from the oven and let it cool. Scoop the pumpkin flesh from the skin into a strainer with a container underneath. Use a spoon to squeeze out the juice from the pumpkin, so you have as "solid" a puree as possible, which you should save for your Pumpkin Pasties, pumpkin bread, or your favorite pie recipe.

Ironically, this is always how I strained my pumpkin after baking, since if you don't, you end up with a very watery pumpkin pie, but I always just discarded the pumpkin juice before. Now I freeze my pumpkin and pumpkin juice separately in plastic containers, and they can keep over a year in the freezer quite well. After thawing the pumpkin, you can strain again for even better results (and more pumpkin juice!) since during freezing, the ice crystals were separated from the pumpkin naturally.

I did try using pumpkin pie spice mixture to flavor my juice, but I thought the flavor was too strong. I actually prefer plain, unsweetened pumpkin juice, since it is quite refreshing and tastes a bit like iced tea. My guests liked the Butterbeer much better though! wink

sticking with the pumpkin theme (bear in mind, they are very healthy for you)

pumpkin pasties
^.^ these sound and look good.
Makes about 3 dozen miniature pasties.

2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1 1 lb. can pumpkin
(or 2 cups fresh, roasted in the oven then pressed
through a strainer to save your Pumpkin Juice to drink!)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 2/3 cups evap. milk (1 can)
1/2 tsp. allspice
9 oz pie crust pastry (enough for two single standard pie crusts)

Bake the pie filling only (no crust) in a large casserole dish in hot oven (425 degrees) for 15 minutes. Keep oven door closed and reduce temp to moderate (350 degrees F/180 degress Celsuis) and continue baking for 45 minutes or until table knife inserted in center of dish comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.

Make or purchase pie crust pastry. Roll thin and cut into circles approx 4" in diameter. Put a spoonful of the cool pumpkin mixture towards one side of the center of the circle. Fold over the crust into a half-circle and firmly crimp the edges closed. Slice three small slits in the top for venting, place on a greased cookie sheet, and bake only until crust is a light golden-brown. Great served at room-temperature, then you don't have to worry about your guests possibly burning their mouths from the steaming hot pumpkin inside! smile

Step 1: In a large bowl, mix cream, brown sugar and salt together.

Step 2: In a saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter together. Remove from heat and add molasses.
